I think the winning approach here is to be positive about of their idea while still presenting your own and making sure it looks 1000x better. If they think you took their ideas into consideration they'll be more likely to accept your direction.
And while I'm willing to bet your idea probably IS better, imagine for a sec how you'd react if you went to a printer and described a detailed plan for printing something that you were gonna spend a couple grand on and they were like "no, I don't like that idea."
Not a perfect analogy because people generally hire graphic designers to come up with the concept (although obviously varies job by job). But in the end, it's hard for me to see the justification for refusing to do something - they are paying you, right?
