In my opinion people populate where the work is located. At least for as long as it takes to do the work. Maybe that's not population. People I know that work harsh conditions, say off shore in the Gulf of Mexico, generally live within a few hours drive of the coast. But usually people rotate at remote locations.
If a real population develops I imagine it would straddle the dark and light sides for efficiency.

Right, but you gotta get the water to the Sunnyside. Just like any economic model, some will mine and transport to production and some will produce at the site.
Wait.. Do you mean produce as in human food? I'm talking about O2 and Hydrogen for going to Mars.
