depends on how you define efficiency

full wave uses both sides of the ac cycle

half wave one

half wave is less components same output perhaps bigger capacitors

full wave is more components balanced loading less ripple or double the frequency of the ac with less ripple

forward voltage drop through diodes

Si .7V so with full wave bridge 1.5 v at output current serves only to heat the diodes quite a consideration for those new 1V cpus
