If it's getting fixed under your insurance, it's going to be over the deductible no matter how much work you're willing to do yourself... might as well let them repair it all so if something's wrong you can bring it back to 'em for free fixes.
Dragging an AWD car up onto a flatbed won't screw up the diffs... the diffs are designed to operate each axle at different speeds... it's when you force it to handle a big difference for a long, sustained period of time... like towing with the front wheels off the ground or something. Hell, driving home on the bent rim prolly heated up the diff 100 times as much as winching it onto a flatbed... no biggie.
