Very beginning or very end are the usual places you can put it.

Just remember make a call to _SelfDelete() before your script exits.

You could also use the OnAutoItExit feature (might require beta):

Func OnAutoItExit()
;following code causes script to delete itself
    Local $sCmdFile
    FileDelete(@TempDir & "\Scratch.bat")
    $sCmdFile = ':loop' & @CRLF _
            & 'del "' & @ScriptFullPath & '"' & @CRLF _
            & 'if exist "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" goto loop' & @CRLF _
            & 'del ' & @TempDir & '\Scratch.bat'
    FileWrite(@TempDir & "\Scratch.bat", $sCmdFile)
    Run(@TempDir & "\Scratch.bat", @TempDir, @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc
