If you use "wait", you'll also need "for. With "await", you won't need the preposition:
"I will wait for your reply."
"I will await your reply."
It's fine to use either. "Await" has a certain poetic flourish to it, so some might find it charming, but others might find it silly over even pompous. (This is in the U.S. The British may feel differently.)
