Lately I've taken a look at the return of drops from stuff like coal, redstone, diamonds using a for3 pick. I get the feeling its not that much better than silk touching the ores and running it through a pulverizer on average. I could be wrong, could be pretty unlucky, on something, or onto something. Is there a writeup on the percentages of For3? Also, I get even more a feeling that Treasure 3 is <<<<< For 3.
Fortune 3 vs pulv

Back in 1.5.x, I could get a stack off diamonds off a 8-10 diamond vein with fortune III.
It is based on probability, so if you have a vein of two, that sample size is too small to get any conclusive evidence from. Pulverizers have the advantage that you are guaranteed (to an extent) the outcome described. It may not be as lucrative as some of the fortune III pulls (up to 5x?) but it is consistent.
Also, once you start quarrying/lazering, you don't have time to do any of this manually. Replacing a Fortune III pick in an AA is an option, but eventually you stop caring about resources.

hmm... turns out I wasn't on something, but onto something...
Increases block drops
For coal, diamond, emerald, nether quartz and lapis lazuli, level I gives a 33% chance to multiply drops by 2 (averaging 33% increase), level II gives a chance to multiply drops by 2 or 3 (25% chance each, averaging 75% increase), and level III gives a chance to multiply drops by 2, 3 or 4 (20% chance each, averaging 120% increase).

The reason for the season is that I was dreading another world because all you modpack people caught on and are making it not easy to predictably get fortune3 using Tic. j/k lol. knowing this, and that knowing is half the battle... Maybe I shouldn't be as concerned with getting For3 as I have been in the past if it doesn't make huge difference in returns.
purposely worded it that way to troll RoC/Mekinism fans...
I was about to go home empty handed...
er...why choose?

I thought it was a new upgrade system that he added allowing pulverisers to output more stuff...
