Which will give you the most points? I'm thinking highest to lowest...

You are wrong here, if you get only a few points first, you have a chance to get more from the next player and so on. You will never get more points by eliminating the higher ranks first. But this is a very small difference.
I suggest you go with tactical reasons, best shot first, most cards for recash, chance for double recash, odds to make the kill, chance you get another turn in case your shot fails etc.

I feel like this has to be right. I don't think that 72o factored in the changing points. However, due to rounding, I don't think this would make much of a difference. I'd like to see if it varies by more than a point or 2 in a game. But unless all things were completely equal (or equally unknown), I think extra percentage points of successfully making the first kill would be worth more than the potential for a couple extra points at the end of your run.

Consider this. What is more important, taking out someone higher ranked for the points, which may weaken you so you are eliminated by someone else or taking out a weaker player that will net you their cards so you can cash again?
Its cost vs reward. If I had the choice of taking out a col with one card or a cook for 5 cards I would take the cook.
It also depends on where the game is. Most escalating games on classic will go between 9 to 12 rounds. By round 9 I am looking for the win. if you dont take someone out or sweep by then most likely someone else will.

so if you're not sure you can still get the 2nd guy, grab the most points!

I actually think you need to kill the person who is further away from you, not the one who has the most points.
For instance, if you were at 2000, and playing with 1000 and 2500, you kill the 1000 guy first and are then killed by the 2500, you end at 1993.92. You kill the higher guy and then are killed by the 1000, you end at 1984.5. So, it's not the guy with the most points, it's the guy who is further away from you, relatively speaking. That is, if you have 1000, 2000, and 3000, you still go for 1000, because you are twice his total in points, so you are further away than the 3000, who is only 1.5 times your points.
