Try something like this, assuming that node.NodeType is of type NodeType, and that function Precedes exists and returns true if first parameter precedes the second.

protected override Expression Visit(BinaryExpression node, NodeType parentType)
{
    bool useParenthesis = Precedes(parentType, node.NodeType);

    if (useParenthesis)
        Console.Write("(");

    Visit(node.Left, node.NodeType);
    Console.WriteLine(node.NodeType.ToString());
    Visit(node.Right, node.NodeType);

    if (useParenthesis)
        Console.Write(")");

    return node;
}
