UX in Agile Scrum works best when Product Owners can use that bundle of skills to help craft backlog --- and then have that same bundle of skills get deployed on teams during sprints. If you have a good culture (which Catherine rightly points out is more important than the method), and you are lucky enough to have the breathing room, you can often accomplish this by having a Sprint - 0 that's just UX Product Owners, then start rolling the process with UX on teams.
But you do need both: I have noticed that whenever UX become more product owner, they lose site of struggles teams are having (or good questions they are generating) & the teams tend to "stray." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
