As to PGR, I am afraid my best result was with a 1-immune 19% growth rate. I tried some 12-13% bi-immunes and they were easier to play but couldn't get close to the resources.

I concur with this - maybe it is just my play style, but 1-immune 19% outperformed every significantly different kind of AR by at least 2-to-1 during my tests.

LSP lowered my results by delaying energy tech advances. Having fewer scouts and getting my transports a few years later because of having few resources early on slowed my growth tremendously.

I do not doubt that eventually the LSP races would have caught up, but with AR you need all the advantages you can get as soon as you can get them.

In the case of Dogthinker's AR, the only reason it is alive is because a neighbor wanted him to live. Given peace and quiet in which to develop early makes a huge difference... in the normal course of things he would have been the first race to die. I believe a 19%, provided it did not use the same hab as everyone else, would have been able to recover from periodic losses and could have been somewhat viable even without a sponsor.
