In a nutshell, my question is whether it's more efficient to:
a) start distributing from HW to all other new planets equally (well, by Hab probably), or;
b) focus on one planet until you have a second breeder, then you can focus on two others to get four total, then eight, sixteen, ... well, you get the idea.

I've done both in real games, depending on hab-draw, and the results don't seem to significantly differ, in the mid and long term. Perhaps the inefficiencies of travel explain it. 
When playing vs people, podrops are also a factor. Concentrating too much on a few breeders can leave other colonies too open to attack... 
Other than that, one of the luckiest things that can happen to your pop strat is a 90%+ breeder next door to the HW. Set it in motion and you just doubled your pop output for taking the rest of the galaxy! 
So many Stars, so few Missiles!
