the ACT assesses your knowledge of basic English, reading, science, and writing and intermediate math, whereas the SAT assesses your critical thinking, problem solving, and test taking skills along with your basic critical reading, math, and writing skills. So in some ways it comes down to a battle between knowledge versus skills.

you should sign up for the optional writing section because the ACT won't count at all colleges as if it was an SAT unless you take the ACT+Writing.

The lowest score one can earn on each of the three sections of the SAT is 200.
