The 70% terraform cost is major. AR's can ramp much faster with this, every race can benefit however a CA w/TT starts with +-7 terraforming. Your hab for that race is 7 clicks wider than shown in the race wizard...
RS- Required for late game play. Don't leave home without it.
ARM- Gives you two things: Gateable midget miners (at con 15) and at around con 21, more cost effective remote miners. Very expensive though. Best to learn to live without it.
GR- Jump games it works, in regular multiplayer games however it will kill you.
IFE/NRSE combo- Pretty much a standard. Not a good idea to take inconcert w/cheap engines however. IFE gets you the fuel mizer which is really necessary for early expansion, NRSE gets you warp 10 at prop 11 meaning you can take prop to level 12 (overthruster if needed) and then stop research. Highly effective strategy.
NAS- Must for JOAT and SS. PP's not a bad idea. REALLY good for an IS race to take (tachyons + NAS make SS cloaking pretty useless).
LSP- Depends. Bad for early ramp, but in games without early contact you can easily make up the deficit so it isn't a bad point mine. Really hurts for non-ACCBBS starts though. JOATs can easily take this due to their larger planet size.
ISB- Only AR's (makes it MUCH easier to sustain growth by having docks and ultra's as intermediate steps). Space docks are handy, but a few SFX fill the same purpose, Ultra Stations (like all space stations) aren't going to save your butt. Better to spend the resources and mins on ships...
CE- Very handy for making those cheap hordes...WM's w/CE can fill the skies. Really good for blitz games or games where you get multiple turn jumps. Packed games w/lots of planet hopping favor this as well.
OBRM- I use it, but you can get screwed. Live everywhere races it's a no-brainer, but narrow hab races can get bad starts and if you can't remote mine you've lost.
UR/MA/BET ugghh
