When I play Angry Birds Friends, I always try to complete the levels every week 100% power-up-free. Mostly, as intrinsic motivation (what's the point of achieving something if you do it by "cheating" via a bought power-up?)
However, there's also a smidgen of extrinsic motivation: does the game regard such "cheating" (e.g. getting a higher score via using a power-up) as a tangible Bad Thing?
Does using power-ups penalize your score somehow?
Does using power-ups make your power-up score be ineligible for rankings among either friends or entire league?
Other tangible downsides of cheating by using power-ups?

Don't have an official answer, but didn't see a single time when my scores were penalized despite extensive use of power-ups

From experience, no. Even using the Wingman doesn't
