I look at forgoing IFE w/ AR to be roughly comparable to shooting yourself in the foot for running too slow.
Think of it this way. With a race that looses pop with each year in transit that you actually spend moving through space, do you really want to spend more years travelling at an agonizingly slow rate. Also, consider the fact that in order to stay ahead, you really have to get the planets first. When's the last time you could afford a bomber fleet along w/ warships to take down possible docks as an iron-strapped AR early in the game?
IMO, IFE always. ISB, Almost always. ARM, sometimes. I personally use all 3 ALWAYS. IMO, choose IFE if you want to have planets. Choose ISB if you want to have growth on those planets. Choose ARM if you really want to keep your investments intact (ie. remote miners). Consider the ultimate cost of having your remote miners anihilated.

(I clocked it once, and the reception is best between 3:00 A.M. and 4:45
A.M.). Of course, I don't usually tell people this when they ask, "Say,
where do you get your ideas?" I just say I don't know. It's safer."
