Depends on your needs really. Master Merchant comes with 2 additional vendors (bringing your total to 12) and an extra 1000 items (for a total of 4000). If this is necessary to run your business then sure you need to be a Master. If you don't have the points for master or want to do it with less then you decide what skills are important. The Management line controls (for the most part) the number of vendors you have and the number of items you can sell.
The advertising tree is less than it used to be with global searching but still can be valuable. If you are going that route at least Advertising III is needed to get the global advertising that is the key to this branch.
Hiring is mostly decorative it allows you to set up the vendors in the races and gender you want and allows you to dress them. If you don't find that important dont' spend points there.
Efficiency is basically saving you money on your maintenance for your vendors. Most merchants make far more cash than they spend on vendor fees anyway so its not a huge issue.
There are perks that you might want. The merchant tent is granted at Effiency IV. The merchant barker droid is granted at Advertising IV.
