Earth can very easily be depleted of these minerals before you catch up to what other players get "free" with TN starts. So this is a factor that justifies giving yourself some free starting labs and/or free minerals.
Personally, starting with any fewer than 20 labs would drive me out of my brain, so that'd be my recommendation for a conventional start. YMMV.
