Camber does affect wear, but way less then toe. Best camber wear wise would be choose one according to how you drive. If you have most of tire thread wear on track (not by mileage of course, but by actual wear, which is much higher on track), wear will be less/more even with more camber. If you drive only on public streets within legal limits, it makes sense to run with less camber, as there you won't see that much side-Gs & tire side loading for it's sidewalls to flex much to need compensating with static camber. As for toe .. if it's not zero, car "drags" wheels all the time. The more the toe angle, the more dragging/wearing. Hence worth to go for minimized toe, while gains from it in handling are more then losses. My choice was zero toe front, and very slight toe-in (0.1dg) rear, for some extra self-stabilizing of RWD car in limited grip situations or to allow open throttle sooner when going out of curve.
