Stall recovery is a flying technique, not an ECAM drill or QRH/FCOM procedure.

Airbus golden rule says use appropriate level of automation and I consider FD as part of automation. In stall recovery, main action is lowering the nose. Afterward, it is about recovering the speed and flight path. At this time, if FDs give me conflicting information, I would ask for turning them off.
