If you look at this spreadsheet (apologies its a bit of a mess https:// docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq39-f4MLsHEdGg4UlZnVU9 4dmhCbHFabHBQZ1l1NEE)
You will see on the sheet1 the bottom right is "Growth lost Vs resources gained"
As we all know best growth is 25% hold and anything else in orbit
This shows you (for -f) where you get the best return in resources when sacrificing growth.
It turns out the best plan is to fill to 30% hold from the best hab (ie 100%) down.
When you are reaching the stage where all your worlds are at 30% hold then start filling to 33% (again down from the top).

At this point it flips and if you want the best return of resources for lost growth - you start filling to 50% from the bottom up!
Also you dont fill up to 50% hold all the way up
Once all your worlds that are 50% hab or lower are at 50% hold then it is a better return to fill the below 50% hab worlds all the way up to 100% hold (again starting at the bottom)

So in conclusion
Best growth = 25% hold
Best resources over time = 33% hold (possibly putting a bit in orbit while moving from 25-33%)
IF you need resources earlier = hold at 33% on your best worlds and fill your smallest

If you add factories into the mix it gets a bit more complicated (should aim to fill the worst Hab world that has green production queues)

And obviously in a real game you wont get anywhere near managing this level of perfect pop/resource control, but the theory should help you make informed decisions and so you will only deviate from optimal decisions when it is strategically necessary
