Not sure. Why don't you experiment and let us know the results? Try it both
ways. When exporting the movie, check the box "Generate Size Report" and
you'll get a text file (same folder as the movie) that gives all the
details on file size.

Yes, creating a symbol does add a little size, depending on the type of
symbol; in the realm of a couple of dozen bytes or less.
