If you care about performance at all, a dedicated client is always best.
While you can run client/MDS somewhat safely (modulo recovery issues) a
busy client will steal resources from the MDS/MGS, so other clients may
suffer.
Again, this is something that may be okay for a testing situation but
should really be avoided for any kind of production system.
