When I use asteroid miners, I make two types.  The second has enough cargo space to carry a mass driver.  That way I don't have to keep remembering to send a freighter to move the mass drivers with the mining task groups.  A little inefficient, but easier on me.

I actually go with single massive (civi) miners made with a orbital habitat. It is slow for sure and eats some minerals for being build but you get the most out of the bonuses and with orbital habs getting such a massive ship with enough storage for resources and several massdrivers.
