While some teams may elect to score on themselves, I expect that the inaccuracy of the real time score will keep that practice to a minimum (remember, we saw as much as 70 point swings from real-time to final score).

And most people seem to misunderstand the ranking system. Point differential has no bearing on ranking score, only the losing alliance's score. IE: if your alliance wins 200 to 35, it is no different than winning 36 to 35 from a RS standpoint. In either case, you will receive 35 ranking points for the match, but if you are leading by 100 points, you will feel much more confident as the clock winds down that it might be OK to score on your own trailer.
