Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm ashamed to say that accidentally I had a large number of 302 redirects on pages on one of my sites for a while and inadvertently missed them.  Once I spotted them I changed them to 301's and the impact was significant for rankings.  From experience, I would definitely recommend them.  It's best practice and if there is any link equity to be had, it's easy pickings for your client.
