What about remote miners? They are already very expensive to build, and using only gateable midget-miners costs a good bit more per kt of mining capacity than using the biggest mining hull available at any point in the research curve. However, any remote mining ship with a decent lifespan is going to move around quite a few times, and you'd like to be able to use them wherever they can produce the most minerals as quickly as possible. To me, it's worth paying more up front for a gateable model, but perhaps others with more experience would disagree?
This is an especially salient question in my current game, Hard Rocks, in which all players must have the worst possible planetary mining settings (5/15/5). Hence we are all making heavy use of remote miners. In other games, few players at all every build any remote miners.
