It's not so much that they're rarer than rubedo, but that the planets they drop on tend to have another material which's drop rate overwhelms circuits.

Venus - Competes with Alloy Plate AND Polymer Bundle

Jupiter - Competes with Salvage

Europa - Competes with Rubedo

Ceres - Competes with Alloy Plate

My personal favorite area for Circuits is Bode - Ceres as:

1. Alloy Plate's overall % drop chance is low enough to be on par with Circuits,

2. The faction (when not being invaded by grineer) is infested so you can just bring a heavy melee weapon to cleave through everything,

3. This map strangely has no toxic ancients so you won't have to worry about poison clouds

4. It isn't exterminate so endless mobs = possible resources,

5. Rescue missions are still bugged so that you can "extract" the prisoner without actually having to extract the prisoner

6. The tileset is Grineer Galleon, which tends to have alot of storage containers and no rooms branching out for you to have to go out of your way to get to.
