Default Play by web guide

Having been a long time listener, almost first time caller. Oh! wait a minute this is a message board!
I am currently in about 3 Play-By-Web Games.

I have found that most player will research PDC very early in the game, making missiles obsolete in the early stages.
Mines are also useless, due to the fact that minesweepers will be Online at about the same time.

Looking at the current best AI races, it seems that engine destroing weapons are the best to research. I think I am looking at what has worked for PBW, and almost as important what has not. I have found that sticking a research plan, and finding allies is very important, What have you found out? What is your research tree? What makes us newbies so much worse than the more seasoned players?
