Both are permissible, but it is better to praise Allah and offer salutations upon
the prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, if you want Allah to answer your
Duaa.

Sheikh in Hajj when we reach to arafat do we have Praise Allah and send salutations to Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him) and then raise our hands and make dua. Or we can directly raise our hands and make dua without praising Allah and sending salutations to Prophet.
