Actually the score goes down when you blockade because resource, intell, and research production isn't generated on blockaded worlds. So all the point it gets from that go away if you blockade.

Also on how many points technology that has been researched gives you just start a full tech game and blockade an AI. They have between 300 and 400 points after the blocade so thats mostly technology points there. Not very much for all that technology and research time. If you are playing for score ships and bases win hands down. Bases even more so because you can support more of them with the same resource production base.
