Not exactly sure what the Mark rating would be for this setup, but it puts out 1790 Eu/t and has an efficiency of 3.81 (179 pulses over 47 cells) It's supplied by ice, but the whole setup is contained, fully automated, and the heat never rises above 700, so it's completely safe (even has a failsafe.) Seems to me if you're just trying to make a setup to power your home and not concerned with maxing out your efficiency, this is the least complicated, very efficient and powerful setup.

Take a 6 chambered reactor and divide the interface into 6 3x3 chunks. in the two left, the two right, and the bottom center chunk, put 8 uranium cells in a ring with a stack of ice in the middle. In the top center chunk, put 7 cells in the shape when crafting leggings, and put a stack of ice in the other two slots.

Then I have one MkIII Energy collector connected to an energy condenser making Ice, which has pipes on 4 sides (I use wooden-->teleportation pipes) and 12 redstone engines equally divided between those 4 pipes all sending those pipes to the reactor. It uses 4-6 ice blocks each second and has absolutely no cooling other than the ice.

Then, just as a redundant safety precaution, I have a Thermal Monitor set to 700 heat - the lowest I can set it to - so if, by chance, it raises above that, it shuts off. Then finally a little RS NOR latch so I can see if, at some point while I was away, it's ever triggered the thermal monitor.
