It's true, there is going to be error in scouting in all ratings levels, and it's going to be to pretty much exactly the same degree. However, it just doesn't seem realistic to me to say "hmm, Dennis Dean has a Contact of 52 whereas Ray Cable's is 49. Well, there's my decision then!" At some level, a scout really shouldn't be able to tell you one guy is 3% better than another at any one scouted category.
I use 20-80, which is basically base 13. This is good because it's less granular than even 1-20 and also it has a midpoint.
