Either or both (as you wish). I'd suggest fixed bonuses for low power items and scores for high power ones as a rule of thumb.

I think this is covered in AR. They die, but might return to the location in time (well ... a new version is born). Some are so seasonal that they die every year and are born afresh each spring.
