Since it sounds to me like you already own both the head unit and the amp, I would definitely run it active off your head unit. It is, as BigA said, more labor intensive to tune this way, but the benefit of having so much more control over your crossover frequencies, and slopes, as well as db levels for each driver is a definite advantage over the passive crossovers.
One thing I do recommend is to find out what the high pass freq. is for your tweeters on the passive xovers, and stay at or above that level to prevent damage to your tweeters.
