Anyone know the best worlds for metal ores?
As in what world is best for copper?
Which is best for gold?

T6. There may be subtle differences but altitude 16’ish while you’re mining other stuff will get you tons. Too deep you’ll find less.

This spreadsheet has been a great help for me in finding various things. 
If you’re going to mine Copper/Iron at the same time and aren’t too concerned about the other ores, Lamblis (T3) and Cenophex Merika (T3) seem to have the best balance of both types. They’re low-ish level planets, so–depending on your skills/level–you’ll be able to collect stacks of them in no time.
Alnitans (T5) and Cardass (T6) seem to be the most balanced if you’re mining Silver/Gold/Titanium.
Keep in mind that the brand new planets haven’t been added to this spreadsheet by the author, yet, so there may be even better places to go for higher-tier ores.
For information on the altitudes at which various ores/other resources occur, refer to this page:
My new favorite spot is on Houchus. I just float around the water at bottom of one of those caverns, and grab all of the Iron and Silver. It’s everywhere!
Edit: Side bonus is hoppers fall on you, so grab some free cores while you are at it!

Alcyon has great smmounts of gold at elevation 20 also copper and iron silver you fing up higher or on the walls in the lava pits.
It’s great but not very comfortable for me. So I did a copy of the spreadsheet:
But here is necessary additional parameter: seams per block ratio. Do anyone know where it could be seen?
I accidentally fell into one of the many massive holes on this planet while looking for a place to dig for gems, and braced for my expected demise…but instead, I discovered a world of endless treasure. You’re most certainly not joking–they really are everywhere!
