Why short yourself and your development as a pilot?
I had the same mentality back when I was in your shoes. But once I did start teaching, I found that I was was pretty darn good at it, so you never know.
You'll never learn more about anything, including aviation/flying, than when you teach it.
I have flown with numerous different crew across numerous airframes throughout my 20+ years of flying jets.
The better pilots are always previous/current instructors.
If I had to choose between you and another guy to hire, all things equal between the two of you, I'd take the guy with some Instruction Given, any day of the week...
