At 0 points (total 31 points), A Score To Settle is indeed the cheapest option, but it will only affect one target. Against fleets where there's one critical support or assault ship, or something that's going to be extra hard to bring down due to agility etc, that's just fine. But other times it's going to be a short-lived benefit -- you'll take out your marked target and then have the rest of the fleet to deal with. Also because their maneuverability isn't amazing, B-Wings like to take opportunity shots on whichever target would suffer the most from the abuse (e.g. foolish TIE fighter wandered into his arc at range 1 MUAHAHAHAHAAAA!). They're not especially good at picking a target and staying on them all game... it's easy to shake them.

In contrast, Elites like Calculation (total 32 points) and even Marksmanship (total 34) are reasonably priced for what you get, and they're continually useful as long as you get an action.

Bistan costs a B-Wing 3 points (total 34 for Ten Numb), but grants a hit->crit conversion at range 1 and 2 against any ship, even if you fail to get your action. I'd say that's not bad.
