Perhaps a bit milder. But not much. Pickling affects the flavor profile. It brings out subtle flavors that are really delicious. The longer you allow the ferment to progress, the more tart it becomes, so you can ruin it if you don't monitor the progress. I've completely ruined a batch of dilly beans once.
I try to stay away from adding spices to a ferment other than the salt in the brine. To me, garlic is a must. Dill, onion and ginger are other options. I try to take a whole foods approach. I also avoid using basil, it detracts from the flavor. It makes the ferment more bitter, I think.
