Two questions about moon surveying:
1st question:
I've scanned several moons and their "products" until now are:
silicats
hydrocarbons
evaporite deposits
atmospheric gases
cobalt
platinum
So what kind of "moon products" should I look at as top priority or aim for?
2nd question:
What does those "abundance" numbers mean?
Example: is 1 better than 2 or is worst than 2?
Many thanks

Plantinum is one of the rarest moon products, cobalt pretty rare also (i think). The others listed are very common. Your best bet is trying to trade some of your products for another corp's products that will make a good reaction - this will determine which you want to mine.
Abundance is the quantity you will mine per unit time. Higher = better, however it's rare to see an abundance greater than 1.

I'll reply by giving you a fishing pole as opposed to a dead fish :)
You know that moon minerals lead to production of tech II components and in the end tech II items.
Try to check out the market for the most expensive tech II components and find out what they're made of. Do some more research and see which of the advanced components needed to make that particular item is the most sought after - and find out what processed materials you need. Do the same thing for processed materials to find out what raw materials you need. And then check the market again and see which of them are in short supply/expensive.
This is what you're after.
Tip: the most active market for Raw materials is probably Yulai X - DED, meaning Genesis region, so check the market there first.
Of course I know exactly WHAT materials are sought after but it took me some time and effort to put it together - hence I'm just giving you the methodology.
Abundance 1 means that you can use only 1 hervestor at a time to mine that mineral and it will give you 100 units per hour work. If it's 2 - you can simply mount two harvestors and mine twice faster.
I hope this helps.
PS Platinum is inded quite rare, but also pretty useless profitwise. :)

platinum is a rare empire material.. think of it like hedbergite. Not totally rare, but worth going for. You'll find a moon with platinum maybe once every 75 moons.
cobalt is fairly common.. 1/30 moons.
silicates, hydrocarbons, evaprorite deposits, atmospheric gases are all very very common. 1/2 moons.
of course it all depends on where you're scanning, but this is what I found in the placid region.
Stuff like Neohydrium (sic?) is extreme rare.. maybe 1/500 moons or so. if you can find one of these ,go for it right away. In the future there will be wars over empire moons this rare.
