Last night I had a wft moment playing PvT. I was protoss.
We were practically dead even on our economy/tech/unit production. The graph at the end of the game I think had me ahead at certain times but it was essentially a dead heat.
I sent an observer down to his base, look around, no army. Hm, where are they. I had a probe at a mid-map lookout thingy that gives extra vision so I saw them coming to my base. Oh, okay, no problem.
I had mostly zealots and stalkers and he had mostly marines and some marauders and one ghost
I didn't even see what happened at first, the battle was over so quickly.
One EMP and game over. :( Brutal.

It can be a tough call. If I am unsure, I will throw up a spine crawler just in case. Then if my overlords/watchtowers see anything moving out you can push your next larvae into roaches/lings to defend. Sping crawler + queen + handful of roaches or lings is usually this is enough to deter any initial push. Queen are pretty capable defenders, just dont let her get killed. And if you hold it off, your income will be quite superior.
And on your expansion, I pretty much dedicate to only drone production until it's saturated. Unless there is an emergency I need the larvae for. By then your main is saturated, and is pumping army units nonstop.
TLDR: I usually get just enough army to defend, and pump drones like crazy. Put scouts to catch when a push is happening so I can make more army with some lead time if I need to.
