It depends on the group you are approaching.
Some conductors don't want a recording (there's a great deal of snobbism regarding synthetic recordings).
Some are more realistic and realize that to examine a new work, a recording is of great use.
The most important thing is a conductor score of good quality.
And if you can, a meeting WITH the conductor rather than a simple, blind submission of score/recording.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
