In my opinion you have several things to consider.

  • Disadvantages of having SQL together with SQL:
  • Increased resources usage for vCenter Server
  • More complex administration for Database Administrators
  • You can’t cluster SQL if it is installed on vCenter Server

Advantages of having SQL together with vCenter:

  • decreased dependancy on network communication between vCenter and SQL
  • operational costs decreases due to server consolidation

I also recommend to watch great video from VMworld 2013 which explains a bit more about topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUFg2iuBjXE
