When creating a race do you guys prefer having a really good planet hab of like 1-3 or 1-4 so you have lots and lots of green planets growing population or do you prefer 1-7 or 1-8 hab and having your population growth like 18 or 20% which is like doubled.

My thoughts....
Now remember Iv never really played online so im just kinda guessing here.
Good hab of 1-4: (guessing with 12 to 15% pop growth)
1-Gives you lots of planets to choose from and spread all over the map.
2-Maybe slow start but once you get so many planets
(alot more higher % green planets), with higher % your pop will grow just as fast or faster than if you had 20% pop rate on a planet that is only around 50% max.
3-More plantes means more resources and minerals, and a more defended galaxy.
4- Higher max population on planets.

20% POP growth:
1. the few planets you do have will grow fast.. well considering if the planets are at 50% they would grow just as fast as someone with a pop growth of 10% in a 100% habitability planet.
2. Even though your growth rate is doubled you will have less planets to colonize and most likely the planets will not be 75% or higher... Those few planets wont reach a very high max population due to planet hab % being so low.
3. You will build POP fast in the beginning on HomeWorld to colonize multiple planets fast.

Well that's what I could come up with from the top of my head. Any experienced guys who have time and wanna enlighten me if im right on the pros and cons?
Personally I would think if i had a race built out with the 20% pop growth and a 1-7 hab and just made the pop growth to 15% it would give me a lot of points extra to give me a 1-4 or 5 planets habitability which would be better.. But im new and i dont really know and those numbers are all guesses just for a close example.
