Adding new vocab cards as I try to read a VN. Which way is better?

I'd say 漢字->かな. Give yourself as much recognition exercise with 漢字 as possible. I do this for my vocab deck, and at the end of every Anki session I drill myself on the 漢字 that I found hard to recognize.

No way is better, they're different. They test different things, so you should choose one according to your purpose. If it's reading, kanji>kana, and if it's listenning kana>kanji. You could also mix both, as sometimes it's the reading that is too obvious, and sometimes, it's the meaning.

What EratiK said.

Just to make it clear, you probably don't want kana -> kanji if you can do audio -> kanji. You can source audio from JapanesePod101 (use yomichan in Anki) or from the site that our irreplaceable buonaparte recently posted a link to:
