How many concurrent sessions do you have? whats the size of a typical session file? you have to know your workload to find the best solution.
Unless you have 1000+ concurrent sessions the only load you will imposing on the DB server is the network overhead, sessions come and go and so the table would stay small, with some extra indexes here and there you should be golden. Then again, even with 1000+ sessions, if the table has proper indexes, I would assume its still faster than a remote filesystem, too many factors to write about in this email.
