Rush for fire resistance as fast as you can. Flamethrowers are a guarantee as soon as you're discovered, and they'll wreck your shit if you're not prepared. As you expand, place resistant membranes as much as you can, ideally at confined choke-points like doors.
I usually only go for reflective membranes only if energy weapons are causing me a problem. They're nasty, but have a long charging time and small amounts of charge.
Have "fall-back" positions prepared around choke points as you expand, with layers of different resistant membranes and slime-launchers, where you'll concentrate your defense and attention. Whatever you do, keep expanding and keep placing structures.
