neither causes what I call pollution. You have to be using $0 prefixes or
some other form of dynamic symbol creation, in order to have that many
symbols.

the former case is better because mysynth can be made local like 
$0-mysynth, while freq and amplitude don't get a prefix, so you're saving 
on local symbols.

but really, this matters only if you have a lot of abstraction instances 
(e.g. several hundreds).
