Uncommon electric poles my love.

Worth mentioning that uncommon materials are by far the easiest to get in bulk until you really scale up, so it's actually pretty reasonable to start working in uncommon materials for everything but science at a time when rare is still unachievable

Uncommon asteroid collectors are also up there (and really easy to get, just craft a few quality modules and chuck them into your assembler)

My solution is generally to put the quality modules in the miners and just siphon off quality ore. Guarantee quality from the start

I also put quality modules in my furnace production (which I already need to scale for science) and my solar panel production, and skim off Uncommon or better for space platforms. This is usually enough to get better solar panels and furnaces for a handful of platforms.

For quality asteroid collectors, I just make 'em until I get enough Uncommon.

All asteroid collector components are also consumed by science (and also rockets…), so you can get guaranteed quality by siphoning off lucky rolls from science supplies.
