Early Game Economy & Structure Build?

I exclusively play on Hard difficulty, I never go brutal or higher (Mainly cause I dont like Quing for brutal with randos)

How do ya'll build up your economy & structures early game? Generally speaking, not for any specific commander, but I guess tips for protoss or zerg if you wanna throw them out (I never play terran)

What I have been doing for years is I prioritize on maxxing my economy (Max drones/probes for minerals and gas)

I always keep 1 or 2 probes/drones in the build Que, my nexus/hive is never -not- making them (Till maxed out). If I have extra resources, (Like a spare 150 minerals) I'll build my first gateway (Or 200 for spawning pool). Keep building 1 or 2 probes/drones at a time and whenever I have enough resources for the next structure, I build it. Economy is main priority, structures are secondary priority.

Am I over-prioritizing on economy? Should I settle for a lesser early game economy so to make structures & units earlier? If so what's the sweet spot of # of probes/drones on minerals & vespine?

plz & ty fellow commanders
