Hiding the PRT in this case can provide you with one devastating attack (i.e. your attack fleets move in with your packet attack with freighters full of pop following up). If done right you can claim all the border worlds (with facs and mines) and have them up to speed in a couple turns. Your opponent then has to waste time and resources to negate (or at least minimize) the packet threat while your attack fleet moves the border farther back. Once all this stabilizes everyone will be aware of your PRT and have taken steps to protect themselves so the brief moment of glory shouldn't happen again.

I guess my point is...if you hide your PRT make sure you get full value when you unveil it (i.e. carve yourself out a big chunk o' space) as it will be a one time opportunity. As opposed to using it openly all along where you won't get the one big bonus but you will get constant bonus.
