Hi!

Why would a One-immune hab set-up be recommended for AR if it restrics them in both cases?

Because ARs get their resources way differently than other races. The formula is:
planet_hab% * sqrt(pop * en_level / res_divisor)
The result is: double your pop or energy tech level and you get 1.44 more resources. Double you hab% and you get twice the resources.
An immunity makes one environment variable always 100%, and requires only 2/3 of terraforming costs, thus making an AR bigger and faster.
If you can't improve hab, you can get more resources by improving energy level, but you face diminishing returns with each new level (going from 5 to 6 gives sqrt(6/5)=9.5%, from 15 to 16 gives sqrt(16/15)=3.3%. The other great source is better orbital. The greatest increase you can get is by building Ultrastation instead of Starbase (Space Dock) that doubles (quadruples) the space for pop giving you 1.44 (2.0) more resources as pop grows. IMO taking ISB LRT is a must for any (but very low growth) AR race.
