As you probably already figured out, hab value for a particular hab range tend to be "centered". It means that if you place your hab range at the center, you will get more planets than when placing at the edge.

I believe that this is correct for Grav and Temp, but not for Rad. My understanding is that Grav and Temp are both bell curved in distribution, but Rad is evenly distributed across the spectrum, so you can move Rad away from the center without substantially reducing the number of planets within any given Rad range.

Also, it is true that while narrow ranges will give you less initial greens it also means that those greens are very good and easily terraformed and this can be played to give you a fast start which is particularly important for AR. You don't really waste your 15% terraforming ability, you just have to colonize fat yellows which quickly become good greens. The RW points you gain from taking the narrow ranges can then get plowed back into things that improve your resources/terraforming such as cheap Energy and/or high PGR.
