It really depends on your play style. However, spreading out to different galaxies is a good universal strategy, it makes it easier to fleet save etc

No matter what style you are playing, spreading your planets out is a good idea. It also allows playing style flexibility. You can still mine with spread out planets, and it leaves open the possibility of going fleeting in the future, whereas if you cluster your planets it limits any future fleeting.
I agree with both of them that spreading out is a good thing...but when colonizing remeber....
