I think the advantage in using tax dollars is that there would be relative immunity from tampering, which would prevent "accidents" I'd like to see parties pay, but into a fund not managed by them.
Not enough money to make a big deal of either way compared to the benefit derived. If the party bosses get to pawn a small portion of their operating costs onto the taxpayers but in return we're getting improved transparency and no more "let's hide our communications from oversight and FOIA requests" then still a good deal for taxpayers and citizens.
