Generally, the systems orbiting the warmest (and biggest) stars are the richest in resources. They are also the most hazardous to mine, so be careful and save often.

Delta Tauri is the best system to hit as far as I remember.

Good call with Delta Tauri.

This is an excellent resource for planning mining trips. It can find shortest fuel distance to a point and back (taking Quasispace into account if you wish) as well as having a listing of mineral resources throughout the quadrant.
That is, if you have the right plugin.

Ilwrath space is a great place to get resources early on, even if it's a little hazardous. It's close to home, many of the systems are close together, and you can smash Ilwrath ships for extra resources. Just be sure to max out your thrusters before going there.

Delta Tauri is da BOMB for mineral mining.
Like I say, though, it'd be very hard to go wrong checking out systems with white stars. Check enough of them and you'll have more RU than you know what to do with. 
Stay away from Centauri though unless you're planning on losing a lot of landers and men (unless of course you have some mods from the Melnorme for your landers).

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

You can do it if you're very skittish. Throw away fuel like it was nothing, and you won't lose many crew, let alone landers. Remember, you don't take damage while landing or taking off. The exotics will more than make up for the expense.

I just started a new game (my second ever) and did the following:
(slight spoilers)
Mined sol, got engines.
Trip 1: Went to Alpha Centauri, mined the saphire/exotic worlds there. Back to earth.
Trip 2: To Wolf for bio (up-left of Sol) then straight to Delta Tauri. Then straight up, quite a bit, to get the UrQ pod and rainbow world, then I hit a nearby giant star to get Melnorme tech. Then back to Arilou space, mined a bit until the portal showed up. Went in and got the portal spawner. Back to earth.
Trip 3: Bought lots of hi-eff. fuel tanks. Warped up to Supox space, visited the 4 rainbow worlds at the arrow tip. Got the Caster. Called Melnorme and bought all tech. Warped down to Druuge, did the fuel trick. Back to earth.
Trip 4: Went to Alpha Centauri to see Melnorme, filled up with fuel (again). Back to Sol.
This gave me 'enough' RU and all the upgrades pretty fast. Date is Sept 55. Now I can concentrate on the quests (I hope it isn't too late to start with those now).

To late? Not at all.
I believe the record for the game is october of 55. If you have a maxed out ship, you can probably finish in less than six months. The game won't end (if you just sit in space and don't do the Utwig quest) till 59.

You're fine. You have until 2159 or 2160 to figure out the quests and complete them.
And this proves a point I keep saying in here to those who want the RU cheats - if that bothers you so much then you haven't mastered the game.
And the time record is October 05, 2155 if I recall correctly. That was with knowing where all the stuff is, so if you're still trying to master the game you're doing pretty well if you feel set on RU by Sept 2155.
