You could look at what Spamcop itself says about this topic. :-)

Last  I checked it said something to the effect that it was a rather 
aggressive list and would snag legitimate mail. Okay, so you had me look 
it up. It says:
   "The SCBL is aggressive and often errs on the side of blocking mail."

I would personally recommend to use it as part of a scoring system. At 
my workplace, being listed on SCBL adds two points to the SpamAssassin 
score. Then again, your milage may vary.
