Do Christian Scientists wear crosses?
...as opposed to like, a different symbol, that is. For someone who goes to church regularly and is in general fairly religious as a Christian Scientist, would the symbol of choice be a cross...?

A better question would be, who doesn't wear one? From what I see today you have rock stars and atheists that love them. It shouldn't be surprising to anyone because the "cross" was a symbol that was worn by ancient Assyrians. That was long before Christ was on earth. So, those thinking people will do a further investigation to see what is behind the cross. Have you done this? Many years ago I learned about it and it was an eye-opener! If you examine the scriptures you see that the proper rendition is "Tree".

Do you mean Christian Scientist (a denomination which doesn't believe in blood transfusions etc.)
or do you mean a Christian who is a scientist?
In the former case I haven't a clue; in the latter case they can wear a cross if they want to.

Scientologists aren't Christians. They're a money grabbing cult.
EDIT: Oops, for some reason I thought it said scientology. But yes I suppose Christian scientists can wear crosses.
