That doesn't really matter honestly, you can build all of the stations you need and then pick up your resources. Also I believe there's some shenanigans to be done with outpost links, haven't tried to figure that out yet.
That said, you don't even need to build an outpost or buy a home to do this, the game gives you the best option right away. When you're shown to your room on the 2nd floor in Constellation there is a safe with unlimited inventory space. Run upstairs, grab 2k resources, run downstairs, craft your stuff, drop it off upstairs before you go. If crafting is a major part of your gameplay then this is really the best option I've found. And well, crafting doesn't need to be a large part of gameplay at all if you don't want it to be.
The game has done a decent job at having your prioritize certain things. If you want to have 1k+ cargo, you can but you'll give up some amenities - a ship I found has great storage space but has no shielding or weapons (and I think, not even a capability for it? TBD still), so even though it can carry everything I want it is more dangerous.
It seems like the idea is that I can put my storage into a home base (be it Lodge, Outpost, or home), show up, craft whatever, drop off whatever else, and then continue on my way. The home in Akila city is cool but far, so def not ideal for quickly transferring and collecting resources to craft, but outposts and The Lodge are pretty reasonable.
