How to calculate the scores of Nodes for priority when they can be in and out of network randomly?

Each client decides for itself which nodes are more trustable. The algorithm can be different, it's up to the client. At the moment we use Proof-of-Work: each node demonstrates a Score calculated. The client compares the Scores and picks nodes with the largest values. In the future we will use Proof-of Availability, where clients will put Scores on nodes, depending on their availability in the network, like how far they are, how fast they answer, how many times they respond with 404-error when asking them to return wallet data.
