What planet was Raditz talking about?

The reason Raditz came to Earth was because there was a planet that the three Saiyans would have trouble with, so Raditz came to get Goku for the advantage. I think the name of planet wasn't said in the manga, but what planet would make the most sense out of all we currently know?

Yardrat was the planet the Ginyu Special Force were on their way to when Freeza called them over to Nameck, so definitely NOT that.

How efficient was the PTO's information network? I ask because a lot of these worlds, unknown to the organisation at the time, conceive exceptionally powerful fighters whom would-be invaders like the Saiyans failed to anticipate.

It could have been Planet Zoon as they happened to boast a gravitational pull comparable to Planet Vegeta. Individually the Zoon-seijen may not pose much of a threat to Nappa, Vegeta, or even Raditz but collectively they could prove to be a serious obstacle. We don't know when precisely Babidi travelled to Zoon and enslaved Pui Pui but he alone could put have a damper on any conquering prospects, depending on how powerful you rank him. I personally consider him to be significantly inferior to the Buu arc Saiyans (base) but not to the point that he's dimensions apart from them or what have you.

Maybe the Ginyus were assigned there after the Saiyans failed on Earth.

We'll probably never know.

Taking into account less than 1000 power level Goku was being recruited, I don't think the race was that strong or at least had particularly strong individuals.
They probably just had a bunch of 400/500 people and it would take forever to conquest it without nuking the planet until it was worthless.

Imagine Earth but instead of people being 5 power level, they were 500. That would be quite a task.
