Which speakers are better suited for surround and rears? Please help!

My set up is:
Energy RC 10 L/R/C
Energy RC mini surrounds
*former* Energy CB-5 rears
Bic F12

The Energy CB-5 crapped out on me a couple days ago and some new Polk Monitor 30s will arrive tomorrow. They were on sale for a price good enough for me to branch out from Energy and give these speakers a shot.

Anyhow, I was considering moving the Energy RC minis to the rear positions since they're significantly smaller than the Polk Monitors, and putting the Monitors up as my surrounds. Any opinions on what might sound better and why? Energy minis surround/Polk monitor rear or Polk monitor surrounds/Energy minis rear? The Polks get down to 55hz, whereas the Minis only get down to 80hz, so I would like to use the Polks where they get more range in their signal, but wasn't sure if that would be sides or rears.
