minimum min/resource spend is to acheive W9 for 3 years at all times

You can look at minimum 6 years rather than 3 if you reuse transportation and insist on never using gates or spacedocks partway on return trip. Spreadsheet needs to count 1200 extra fuel generated by SFX over 6 years, which is partly offset by MF+SFX weighing more.

Useful to count fuel consumed by empty version over 3-6+ years to notice that sometimes better to leave SFX out there at warp 5-7 doing other work if half full.

Eg: supposing 240 ly in 3 hops: (Double these for full round trip at warp 9)

SFX: 119kt consumes 1286 fuel, but generates 600, so net usage 686.

LF: 133kt consumes 1436 fuel.

MF: 64kt consumes 693 fuel.

100ly over 3 turns, SFX generating fuel while intercepting next load: consumes 109 fuel while generating 600 net gain of 491.

You may get hint that round trips aren't always the best. (SFX consumes more than half of its own fuel doing 240ly round trip at warp 9).

Transport always has to return to a pop surplus centre (stardock or better desirable to drop off iron), sfx can visit any stardock.

Anytime you reduce trip for one component by a turn you reduce minimum round trip for that component by 1/3 meaning less ships needed.

You want to haul small loads of iron to spacedock or better from colonies that won't be having spacedocks for quite a while.

Defense is harder to count in a spreadsheet, but imo important for colonies 240 ly out. Jack of all trade refuel ships like SFX help defense.

...

For ideal colony size calculations:
Mining = SQRT(population)/10

Colonization mission -- leaves 75% of the minerals used in construction on the surface of the planet

Hab doesn't affect mining.
