So the new ZZYZX EM sport coilovers use an eccentric bolt to adjust camber for the front wheels instead of camber plates. This makes me wonder whether its better to just tip the tire in like that or to get the extra steering angle inclination that a camber plate gives you.

I'm thinking that less SAI is better. Any camber that results from SAI goes away as you turn the wheel. Any camber that's there independent of SAI it doesn't change (well, it changes a little but not much). I guess the question is whether the change in effective camber angle due to caster is too large and you want to try to cut it down using SAI or not.

Of course tipping the strut in also changes the camber gain characteristics of the suspension.

Any McStrut gurus out there that know?
