You are asking a wrong question. Eventually both methods will result in a planet pumping the same resources. Here are questions that you can ask instead:

  • Which method gets me to the max output faster?
  • Which method generates more resources on the way there?
  • Which method results in more resources N turns from now?

Note that the answers to these questions can be different. There are sever factors contributing to the final decision:

  • Your growth rate
  • Planet value (before and after terraforming) and your hab ranges
  • Cost of terraforming
  • Cost of factories
  • Effectiveness of factories and population
  • Availability of germanium
  • Strategic positioning of the planet - do i need to have as much pop there as soon as possible or can it wait?

I don't think there is an ultimate answer. You need to experiment with various options and see what works for you.
