I usually fill my LDSF's with 1080 clans and 120 supplies and 100 MC. This enables me to drop 90 clans and 10 supplies on every planet I find, assuming that the climate is good enough to support 90 clans. The 100 MC is for the planet which has a lot of natives, so I'll be able to build up an economy fast.

Build 14 factories on your new planets, then build 15 or 20 defense posts and then max your factories and build as many mines as you like.

On a temperate-warm world 15 clans will reproduce, while on a tropical or cool world 20 clans are needed. So I'll say fill your SDSF with 60 clans and 10 supplies.
