However, I personally prefer IT then IS and then JoAT due to amount of required micromanagement for each of these races to reach its full potential: IT easiest then IS and then JoAT. IT can gate pop and mineral at will. IS does not need to move pop too much. JoAT has to MM both pop and minerals.

I wouldn't call IS easier than JoaT. When playing IS I put quite some effort in the MM of my orgies. Calculating for each planet how much to upload to end up with 25% (or other holds) on the ground to maximize growth ... Planning when to fill up planets etc. More pop = more pop to manage.

Very true in the early game and part of the mid-game, however, by turn 70 - the IS pop on colonies is generally max'ed and MM of pop is much less of a burden as you more then enough pop to spread around. You do not necessarily have to manage an orge to use as a weapon - just let it be & add transport every now and then. All I am saying is that after a certain point, there is very little pop management vs. Joat.
In contrast, JoAT players have to manage breeder sites vs production sites - again both pop and minerals.
