I can't imagine it would make much of a difference. As I understand it the hulls are there simply to provide structure to the mash so it does not stick on runoff.

As I understand it the hulls are there simply to provide structure to the mash so it does not stick on runoff. My opinion is that they are useless. Slowing your lauter down will do more to prevent a stuck mash than the hull will.
When I look at my grain after it's crushed, I see hulls (some whole, but split open) and bits of endosperm. I can't imagine why I would need more hulls. If you're shredding your hulls, then maybe it's time to look at your grain mill/gap/speed, etc..
I use them sometimes too, but on some systems (Denny's and euge's apparently) they don't seem to do much.
