Dragon Quality vs Quantity vs Diversity?

Question

I have what I consider a fairly solid base for my dragon park in DragonVale. What I am trying to figure out is the way I should proceed. I would like to have a park where the dragon coins and dragon food are fairly available so I can focus on expanding and laying the park out.

What gives the best turn around from investment? Focusing on the level of my dragons so they will produce coins faster? Or should I just expand and create more habitats with more and more dragons in them? Also, is there any point in getting a wide range of the types of dragons I have at this point in time or should I just be focusing on ones that produce coins quickly for now?

If it helps I currently have 3 large plant habitats, 2 large fire habitats and 1 earth habitat (where a Moss dragon lives.. earth are apparently not a good coin draw).

Pretty much the only things you should focus on is getting more experience. Each time you level up (which rare exceptions) you get one more availible habitat for dragons, and you usually unlock one or more bonuses like more dragons/more farms which help you in turn get more experience and more money.

Diversity is important to the point that you have one of each basic element; this will let you breed all the hybrid dragons you want. Hybrid dragons tend to be worth more XP, and eventually will allow you to breed the Rare dragons, Sun/Moon/Rainbow dragon.

Generally there's no reason not to wind up with one of each dragon, hybrids included, which will help you later when you want to breed rarer dragons. Since breeding takes time, go ahead and breed for diversity while you can, early in the game there s not much sense in focusing on maximizing money per second.

Always grow food and try to get your dragons to level 10; leveling your dragons gives you experience and lets them gather money much faster. There are also late-game benefits to leveling your dragons to 10; once you have leveled 50 dragons of one element to level 10, you can then raise that dragon type to level 15 after you gain certain late-game items.

As for Quantity, it's pretty much always best to always have your habitats full, even with just basic dragons. Sell off dragons once you get a "better" hybrid to put in it's place.
