Kotk's figures are pretty interesting. If it's from the tool I think it is, then it's based on a random sample (1000 planets) so the very small % differences seen here don't really prove any of the habs are better than the other, assuming terraforming was instant at each step.

Looks like race wizard is pretty well scored in terms of planet balance.

There's one kicker though. As mentioned before in this thread, each click of terraforming done in a narrow field tends to have a higher % effect on hab than the same click in a wide field. When you are done terraforming both fields the result will be the same, but your early terraforming will bring results a little faster as you will usually terraform the narrow field first. (e.g. if you have terra 7 in all fields, your first 700 resources spent in terra will have a bigger effect than the next 700, even though the end result after all 1400 is the same.)

Also having a narrow hab tends to be better for diplomacy as well.

Strikes me as a no-brainer. I think the skewed results in the practical testing done is due to RW growth rate differences and/or the randomness of different generated universes.
