Can you add outriggers? If the conductor is in front of the choir, and the orch is behind them, you may want or need something to get an isolated orch sound without the choir in the way...unless you really want the minimalist 3-mic approach. I would usually go omni in front of the conductor as you will want to reduce any noise he might generate...be prepared to move forward into the choir if he is flipping pages of a score.

Basic plan sounds fine. Are you mixing live to 2?
