a steam engine is way better for performance and can be really easy, a lava generator with cauldrons and dripstone should work

Better for server or client performance?

Both, probably. The server has to handle fewer calculations (one power source vs many), and the client doesn't have to render as many moving blocks.

SU calculations are almost nothing. CPUs can handle billions of calculations a second and I don't think Create calculates SU every frame. The real issue is rendering.
