If they're so advanced why build colonies in extremely dangerous environments? There's a lot of better places out there

  Why not? Life on earth, including human life, has a tendency to sneak into every nook and cranny. On earth, much of it as I understand is because the “good land” may already be occupied by others, and (initially) less competition in a new place may make it overall less inhospitable than surviving in a fertile but competitive land. After initial generations settle there, future generations will often stay in their native homelands by default unless driven out by other factors. Of course, this is just reasons for settling around Earth itself; who knows what drives the motivations of alien species?

  I think you'd be at risk of things like meteors, comets and solar flares no matter what planet you chose. Plus they would need to acquire natural resources, it would make sense to acquire them from uninhabitable planets rather then waste good real estate.
