How would it help/hurt performance?

They're different things and they do different things. They shouldn't be compared in the same class. Yes, you can install both.

As far as actually installing them... suspension mods should reflect personal driving styles. Of course having them both can be a good thing, but there are people who's driving techniques get messed up when sway bars are installed because it changes a lot of the handling characteristics. Strut tower bars more or less reinforce the body and reduce flex. That doesn't neccesarily change handling characteristics. Sway bars can greatly change and improve handling characteristics... but whether it benefits a driver or not depends on the driver and his/her techniques.
