I would think that would be dependent on the technological and
economic assumptions of your universe, which Jon carefully doesn't
make.

If grav provides a significant tactical advantage in relation to its
economic price, all factions will use as much of it as they can afford
for the best formations they have.  And tracked or wheeled for what
ever is left over.
