Pros:

You get a bonus for having the privates on the away team


Cons:

Privates are risk of being infected by spawn.
If any of the privates are spawn they could interfere with the mission.

Maybe the slaves would be a good idea if they went 3 slave + scientist + officer... but I think that should be left up to Render and Telle to decide how they want to handle their away teams (or if they don't want to go at all for some reason)
