Once I am in the peak cardiac zone, do higher heart rates in that zone give me more “credit” with respect to my cardio fitness score?

Cardio and Peak zone give you Active Zone Minutes x2.

I’m reading your question a little different from @t.parker.  Your cardio fitness score is Fitbit’s estimate of your VO2max.  Fitbit’s algorithm is proprietary, but the way I interpret the Help article, your cardio fitness score will improve when you’re doing steady state activity at a slower heart rate, not a faster one.
