After calculating the speed and feed for an application do you rapid back out, or do you retract at the same feed rate as you plunge?

Yeah. If the reamer is sharp and you dawdle in the hole, any tiny bit of misalignment between tailstock and headstock will translate to the reamer's taking more cuts as it exits. You can't completely eliminate that, but you can minimize it by getting out of the hole as fast as possible.
If everything were perfect, it wouldn't do any cutting on the way out, anyway, so the speed wouldn't matter. But it does.

Don't you run the risk of a deep spiral score mark that way?

Spiral, yes. Deep, no. It's better to have a steep spiral than one that eats out more i.d.
