Missiles are worth sufficiently few victory points that it's perfectly legitimate to use them on one-AU conventional units. But if you're gonna do that, the best bet is to save them for units that are gonna cost you a significant amount of tread units over the course of their life, and that are not going to be easy or desirable to divert your advance to take out. Like HVYs that have gotten behind you, or MSL tanks that are way off to the side. GEVs that are hit-and-fading you with otherwise impunity (i.e. you're down to M2 and no MBs) are a good choice too.
