On the bigger maps the planets even out for both players eg 31/50 on the smaller maps eg23 it can be spawn based but its based on skill - ive seen players with crap spawns dominate players with good spawns.
So choose carefully if you do 23 planets it could go against you in an evenly skilled match, 31 and 50 seem to work out fine.
We're in the middle of trying to get the feature for mirror symmetrical maps as there is an option its just not avaliable on server creation as of yet. will keep you posted.
