For me, I'll generally get as close as I can and fire it straight at the node. Generally, I'll try to be behind cover when I do it. Bailing from a raptor and shooting in mid air, and landing behind cover (Severence is PERFECT for this) is my best tactic. Even if I nuke myself, the reward is still worth it if it was the enemy prime (especially if some of the defenders also died).
Firing a redeemer from further away makes it much more likely for someone to stop it. I've actually saved nodes from being nuked by hitting the node itself with a tank shell, and disabling the nuke through splash damage.
