So, how do you personally take care of the side quests? Do you knock
them all out at once as soon as the galaxy opens up? Do you get Liara
first and then tackle all the UNC missions? Do you do a few between
planets? Do you get them all near the end?

My first play through
I just did them as I ran across them. A lot of them, obviously, are
initiated by hacking computers or from the elevator news or from NPCs.
Some, though, seem to be kind of random and can only be "found" by
checking the planet. This meant I missed a few that were in system or
clusters I never had to go to.

The next playthroughs I
methodically checked each cluster and each system for any hidden quests.
I think I got all of them, but it felt very frontloaded. It also
triggered some UNC missions prior to being "asked" to do them (i.e. I
got Wrex's armor before he told me about it).I did this all in the
beginning of the game.

I'm kind of interested in seeing if
there's a "preferred" order of doing things. Basically, what UNC
missions to do when to best fit the flow of the story. After I beat ME3
I'll probably be interested in doing a straight trilogy run and I'd
like to make it as "true" as possible (not necessarily "canon," but I
want it to flow really well as if it were canon, if that makes sense).

A few between each main mission.

After leaving The Citadel, I go straight for Liara, then a few side missions.

I generally wait untill I've done Feros and Noveria before I tackle the rest.( ie: The Rachni/Thorian Creepers and Cerbeus missions) Otherwise, I found they didn't make much sense =)

You have to do most of the rachni/creeper missions after their respective main quests (these systems unlock only after you've done the main quests).

Start a few of them after getting Liara typically. The ones you learn about on the story planets I do after those planets. All in all it is nice to space them, but I end up with a lot early and late and probably do fewer in the middle of the game.

[somebody99000]

I try to space them out. Because of the many, many times I've played through ME1, not to mention the generally limited amount of time I have to play, I get...well, "bored" might be one way to put it if I just play through all the UNC missions in a row (I also tend to lose track of how I'm trying to play Shepard, should I be trying to do something other than pure Paragon or pure Renegade, ie. most of the time).

They do get a bit repetitive if you try to do too many at once.

I always pick the side quests first in order to build up experience. It also helps to prevent getting into a situation where I might not be able finish them anymore.

If i wasn't going for the ally achievements, I would just do them as they came across the radar.

Or if I was in a galaxy that had a few, I'd run out and complete them before I moved on with my other plans.

Ummm, not sure if this is true. On my most recent playthrough I did the Cerberus mission before I did Noveria, and yes it did bug the living Hell out of me that no-one commented on the living Rachni I found, and then acted like it was a total revelation that they weren't extinct later on at Peak 15.

The rachni missions the poster is referring to are the Listening Post/Depot Sigma-23 related ones (which are technically Cerberus, admittedly, but require the completion of Noveria first). Even on Noveria, though, the squad has to be told by Hans Olar that the big bug creatures are rachni; they don't figure it out themselves. Thus, it's actually quite reasonable that they would not have identified as rachni after completing the main (Cerberus-Hades Dogs) Cerberus quest line, as so far as they knew they had simply fought exotic lifeforms captured by Cerberus and modified. Even Wrex isn't old enough to have seen the rachni first hand.
