But as to my choice of scales, that really depends on my enemies. If I am up against Ermor, I might just take a point of growth and productivity anyhow, just to counteract any dominion of his -- plus the extra cash helps, even a little.

AE and SG Ermor's killer dominions are WAY more lethal than a death-3 scale, and independent of scales, to boot. If Ermor has dominion in your lands, you're screwed, even without the scales changing. And a supply bonus won't help you invade Ermor's lands, even if you can push your dominion into them.
Much, much safer to invest in ceremonial faith or a higher base dominion.
