As oxygen atmosphere planets seem to be fairly scarce, is it better to have a race that breaths hydrogen, methane, or carbon dioxide?
The stock game distributes the atmosphere types fairly evenly; not finding a lot of your own is just random chance in the map generation. A race that "breathes" None, though, is a bit more of a challenge, because most of your breathable worlds will be Tiny.

Sometimes you start out on an unpleasant world for example.
Conditions have a minor effect on population growth. You don't really need to worry about anything that's not Hostile or Deadly; those two can give you zero or even negative growth.
