I specialize my WP's. I have long range ones that I put WMG's and short range ones w/ Graviton Hellbores. And I ALWAYS have at least 1 or 2 WP's with nothing but PD. I usually play Religious - the Talismans ARE well worth it IMO, folks - so they all have one. Early game I usually rush-research for PPB so I usually have those to start, then migrate once I get the later techs.

And late game WP's are almost exclusively built on my RW's or SW's unless I PPP a planet deep in enemy territory - then I'll build a few there.
