Do I need to use a static sprite batcher or not?

So I have three sprites that represent different fence pieces.
I can arrange these three pieces in different ways to create chunks of a fence system.
The problem is that these fence chunks must appear at different scales. (background and foreground)

I can simply change the gameobject's scale, and it will work fine. Though this incurs more draw calls...?

I can drop them into a static sprite batcher, but I seem to encounter a lot of weird behavior with the batcher. The global coordinates of the batcher object don't seem to match up with my other game objects, and when I try to scale the batcher it seems to pop off into another section of the screen. It also turned one of my sprites dark for some reason. From what I understand the batcher also doesn't really support order in layer correctly, so should I just stick to scaling the pieces with unity's game object? Is the performance hit going to be that rough?

No, just scale it using sprite.scale and you should be fine. I doubt you'll need the batcher here. You can worry about the static batcher when you really need to
