Hmmm... Your choice. I can tell you a couple of things that play into this choice for me:
1. On my ES-335, the bridge pickup tone control spends most of its life halfway down in order to bring down the overtones to the point where the neck and bridge pickups match well. Of course the same it true of my Les Pauls as well. If you eliminate that second tone control you eliminate that ability.
2. If you like the middle pickup selector position you probably like the ability to blend between the two pickups with the volume controls. Down to only one volume and one tone you miss that ability.
A used ES-335 Faded is a better option if you don't want to loose these important abilities.
