Does economy of trade planet matter, or only population?

I've searched the forums and see this question answered both ways, so I wanted to create a topic on it specifically. I know that the length of a trade route affects income, and that the population of the worlds in question also has an effect, but does the economy of the planets in question matter? For example, would it make more sense to set up a trade route from a class 10 world with an econ capital and lots of markets or a class 15 world with high population but no econ buildings? (odd situation I know, but its a hypothetical). On the other side, does the economy of the foreign planet matter as well, or just their population?

I know in most cases the highest population worlds will also have the best economies, but I'm trying to figure out if its worth the extra effort of setting up my trade routs from my econ capital.

That never ocured I never new that population count never affected trade. U r basically right about a low population count except when the population count is 1 to 4 where the population count can become 16 through teraforming this should be taken into account remember if u build right u can increase the population to 20 billion this is a concern unless yur the Dominion of Korx this was covered earlier in the post if U have more than 20 billion u will need a morale bonus of 800 percent even though I didn't know this I have another stratedgy that would enhance this first off trade with a civilization near you this will give u less money in the beginning but it gives u money quickly then U replace them with routes as far away as possible U can still biold up the population count.
