For the same reason I argue for a higher growth rate, I would argue against LSP for IS. If you are playing 'catch up' with your population (i.e. if you have LSP) then how you will afford to invest population to create an orgy? (And as I've mentioned, if you don't plan to make strong use of growth in space, I'd be looking at another PRT.)
In your list of suggestions, I'd go with either (5) or (3). I'd be lookig at reducing economy settings or hab to get at least 18%, preferably 19% with con cheap. Less hab or no-immunity (if you'd taken one) is actually quite acceptable for a IS, since a large part of their growth will be taking part in space, independent of the hab values of the planets they will eventually fill to 100% capacity and beyond.
-f 1-immune suits IS very well, as does no-immune HG.
I've won with a 17% HP IS, but it was a very painfull experience and I'll take neither HP nor 17% with IS PRT again. Creating the orgies was *excruciatingly* painfull and it was only a mix of perfect diplomacy, circumstance, and blind luck that let me survive to the point I could reap the benefits.
