Depends on what system you climb on really.Less friction would be the major benefit.I climb on a zigzag with a pulley saver prussik looped onto a multi anchor which makes climbing and moving around the tree silky smooth so a hellva lot easier.

The angle which your rope is pulled through the rings of a standard cambium saver isnt great either,a pulley is wider so doesnt bend the rope as it travells over the rotating wheel.

Id recommend a pinto pulley saver as the pinto has a becket that is also rated for bodyweight incase the bearing on the pulley wheel breaks off.

I climb on box standard prussic tbf im pretty new to climbing and want to learn but make things easier if that makes sense

It'll take a lot of friction out of the ascent as the rope your pulling is rubbing on the branch,probably extend the life of your rope aswell.Also prevents the bark on the tree being removed hence the name cambium saver

When I climbed for midland tree in the 90's all of the climbers cambium savers had pulleys on - made a massive difference. But it's personal preference at end of the day.

I generally climb on a hitchclimber with a standard cambium saver. I tried added in a pulley but found that it took too much friction out off the system for my liking.

I like a bit of friction!
