Number of points at beginning

[Dobian]

Another noobish question. Which do you prefer - 2000, 3000, or 5000? Is the game any better/worse/different when the races are all a bit overpowered with 5000 points to allocate? Any advantage to the player or the AI? I've been playing all my games with only 2000 so far. I like to have some obvious disadvantages to my race, and not just be a juggernaut.
