I don't have any access to the relative performance figures for this myself, but the official recommendations are:
"- It is recommended to keep the vCenter and VADP proxy as separate machines to avoid contention of CPU and memory resources....
- EMC recommends using the VADP proxy host as the storage node. This provides the optimal configuration for any given transport mode as data transfer occurs directly from the ESX/ESXi datastore to the storage node."
It depends on the amount of activity and available dedicated resources you have on each of the VMs though. If your NetWorker server is going to be busy, it will better off on a separte VM than the Proxy also.
