If your planet builds at a rate of 2000-2499 minerals per turn, it's better to build Mineral Miners II and then upgrade them to Mineral Miners III later. Because you can build an MM2 in one turn, but it takes two turns to build an MM3.
If your planet builds at a rate equal to or greater than 2500 minerals per turn, start with the Mineral Miner IIIs. Because it takes one turn to build either the MM3 or the MM2.
BTW - if you're building at a rate of 1250 - 1999 minerals per turn, you'll also get better results building the Mineral Miner III's. Because it would take two turns to build either an MM3 or an MM2.
