A question regarding not having the fuel mizer: As the point of boosters is to keep your fleets moving as close to warp 9 as possible, do you keep using the QJ5 engine for a while because it's cheap and gets about the same fuel usage at warp 9 until the trans-galactic drive?

It isn't always about warp 9.
Most trips will have segments slower than warp 9.
A distance of 120 l.y. will probably be best at Warp 7 then Warp 9. The DLL7 could make the difference between coming back in 2 years or 3 years.

Go for the higher tech engine sooner.
Prop is often the second tech after Con that I go for.
(depending on PRT, density, etc.)
Any ships with QJ5 engines will rapidly find themselves included in colonising runs to increase the initial drop size.
