With the Industrial Grinder and Blast Furnace, rule of thumb is to feed ores on top, liquid/cells from the bottom and extract out the sides.
My simple setup:
Industrial Grinder (left) accepts certain ores from item tesseract/relay with water from an AA fed in the bottom. When I want to say grind Ferrous, you can manually open the GUI and place mercury cells directly into the liquid slot.
Same configuration (less water) for Blast Furnace. I'm in the process of adding another IG and IBF block to the existing casing blocks, so i can automate Ferrous grind and Electrum blast.
What's the most basic storage system besides barrels; or even with barrels. Just something functional.
Iron chests (search in NEI for "chest", and look at all of the new types such as "iron", "copper", "gold", "silver", etc), a decent barrel system, or AE are the only real choices for storage.
Actually, you could also set up a storage system that stores things in pipes (or tubes if you want to use RP2), although that would be horribly laggy, extremely ineffectively, slow when you want the item, and generally a bad idea.
Any easy way to have a cest where I could put a bunch of crap in and it will automatically get put in its respective storage chest/barrel?
I just decided to install Optifine to see if it would boost my FPS any and in my test world I went from about 60 to 110. Awesome. Now in my SSP world around my base I average around 40-50. I have no idea whats eating all my frames, I don't have any timers, no portal gun portals, or any of the other normal culprits laying about. Any Ideas?
To the second question, I found this http://ttower.dyndns.org/boilerCalculator/ to be extremely helpful. Click the circle next to "Heatup Only", it will tell you how much fuel you need to get to max heat, and how much it uses once there. I'm assuming you're turning the sapling into bio-fuel, which would give you this -
Heatup took 2 hours, 33 minutes & 15 seconds!
170.32 buckets of fuel were used.
Fuel/h after heating up: 18 buckets.
If you're using saplings straight -
Heatup took 2 hours, 33 minutes & 15 seconds!
Used 54503 fuel items!
Fuel/h after heating up: 5703 items.
-Don't use saplings straight unless you have a SERIOUS tree farm.
Nope, no "easy" ways. Applied Energetics is the way to go about doing that, though.
If I wanted to host a server for the FTB Ultimate pack for about 1-5 people (probably max 3 on at a time), what would be the best amount of RAM to give it? I want to have it hosted through CreeperHost, but I'm not sure how good the server needs to be. Will about 3 gigs cut it or do I need more? Thanks in advance for the help 
What's the best means of vertical transportation? I want to jump of cliff and basically get back up again, no more than 15 or 20 blocks though.
I'd say arcane levitator. Jetpack can also be used for this, but levitator feels better as a part of base.
Anything that's more like, "walk into this station, you get launched to that station and visa versa" kind of thing?
is there any way to get the following working on a frame ship/bore platform:
1-pure bees. (i think yes, but will need ae or rp tube system. bc breaks when frame moves an i only know automated apiary setups with bc pipes. need roving flux removal platform)
2-mffs (i've seen videos probably for 1.2.5 where it *used* to, but every possible means i try now, i get stuck movement. argh). also mffs plus redpower or frames as keywords has squat for search results on the google. mffs documentation blows.

That's exactly what the Arcane Levitator does.
Alternatively, build an IC2 teleporter.
Apparently RP2 microblocks are horribly laggy, and everyone uses them...
Aerial Faith Plates?
We use mystcraft linking books for that. If you craft a linking book at a certain location that book is tied to that target. You can then use it to jump to that target whenever you want. Keep in mind though that if the target is in the same 'world' (overworld for example) you need to use a link modifier to allow intra-age jumping (jumping within the same age). Also turning on "following" is nice since then you won't drop the book when you jump.
In my base I have a hub that leads to different destinations (different books on pedestals). I have one book in my inventory that links me there.
