Pros and cons discussed in other threads already. Overall, colonising reds is a good idea for AR, as long as you don't let it hurt your growth too much. For a fairly minimal one-off cost (pinta + 22kt pop) they provide a nice trickle of resources and - more importantly to an expanding AR - minerals. Occaisionally you might upgrade one to a space dock if it's in a good spot for refuelling.

Push it to the extreme though and you could hurt your growth - consider the spend in pop and effort vs the speed benefit of the resources/minerals gained.
