Settled specialists are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the best option. always.... even 2 turns before the end of the game. well maybe thats not true, but I still do it.
I usually have the confucian holy city. so unless I happen to capture something better (like dehli with 2 shrines) I consider that my $$ city. The capital is usually my city. All +$ great people goto my shrine city and all others settle in the cap (wich does get an academy with the 1st GS). When combined with representation settled great people can double your science output. just lightbulbing them is a 1 time thing. settling them pays off the whole game.
However I do use 1 to pop off a golden age once my cities are 15+ size. If i have the wonder wich extends the length, i often go for another if i have a couple of non engineers. then late game I will get a couple of corps.
If I'm playing a philo civ i build the pyramids and my economy is almost 80% GP run. Playing one now and I'll take a few SS's if you'd like. I often get 1000 out of my cap playing a philo.
