Why would you mix polymerases in PCR?
The Taq polymerase is a rather fast enzyme (the synthesis rate is around 1 kb/min), but the backdraw is that it has no 3'- 5'exonuclease activity which would enable to proofread the newly synthesized DNA. This leads to the introduction of errors and the chance of getting these is higher the longer the DNA you want to synthesize is.

Polymerases which are able to proofread (which have the exonuclease activity) like Pfu have a much lower error rate, but are on the other hand also much slower, typically around 0,5 kb/min. Pfu is also more expensive than the Taq polymerase. See table 1 from reference 1 below:



To combine the advantages of both polymerases, you typically use a blend of Taq and Pfu. Then you get the high processivity of the Taq combined with the proofreading capacity of the Pfu and get good yields of DNA with a low amount of mutations. See also reference 2 for details on this system.
