Neither has a "real" effect on the storyline. All it affects is if you can summon him for the last fight or not.

From a lore standpoint, he probably links the fire in his own world if he lives, but it otherwise doesn't seem to have any other effects. In the end, all you get from saving him is that you feel better knowing that you returned the favor after he helped you.
