I choose small packed because it:
1) gives me a feel for how close the other players are in relation to me.
2) if you don't go pop dropping everyone and just assume that it's first come first serve. You end up with a fair assessment of inter human relations. That is, you only pop drop people you either don't want as friends or those who aren't your friends already.
3) Getting colonies in the AI's space is similar to intersettling, though eventually it'll turn ugly as the AI tries to kill everything that comes from those worlds.
4) It also gives you a proper grasp of interstellar distances.
5) There's no such thing really as "fair share" in this game. You take what you can maintain. If you have say, a 1 in 8 hab setting, you need to cover more space than if you had a 1 in 4 hab setting.
6) Only a tri immune and races that can live everywhere are capable of using the 30 nearest planets around them. For everyone else red worlds will be covering some or most of their 30 worlds.

Basically, expect your territory to be greater or less than 30 worlds.

One of the few games I played I tried colonizing everything in reach with 2500 colonists. Most of it was worthless to me and never made over 200 resources. But I had my 30 planets and only 15 were of any use to me. Doing that also drains your economy big time I've noticed. I wouldn't recommend colonizing the first 30 worlds you see, unless they're green or at least yellow depending on play style. Red worlds are basically planets with a 5% capacity and also the addition of being toxic to your form of life. If your AR then the red worlds are equal to a world with 25% capacity.

Rule 1: "Pillage, THEN burn!"
