I would suspect for damage negation purposes, that either "hardened" or "energetic" would be the most effective. Early testers seemed to prefer Hardened over Energetic, but that was before Azanor buffed Energetic so that might be more effective now.

Depends on desired function. "Hardened" will absorb more burst damage but need longer recharge. "Energetic" will repair faster, but can't handle as much burst at once. If you take large chunks of damage infrequently, Hardened is better. If you take small amounts of damage frequently, Energetic is preferable.
These recommendations based on imperfect memory of the mechanics.

That one didn't work, but today when I put him down in front of the chest using right click, he ran right over and tossed his cobblestone in, so I'm officially clueless but it's functioning.
It will cost more fuel since it will mine all the cobble and dirt etc and will have to go back to unload more often.
If you actually read the discussion you will know that it all started with him not having enough diamonds to make a quarry...
Whats a good early game automatic mining? No ComputerCraft in my pack.

My recommendation would be to make a stone hammer from Tinkers construct. Requires 3 blocks of iron + a bit more iron. But its quite worth it. Repairs with cobble and mines 3x3.
BuildCraft's Mining Well, I guess. Needs Redstone, but it can technically be sufficient enough to keep you from leaving the surface ever again once you've found two pieces of it (one for the Well itself, another for an engine required to power it).Though, be prepared to spend a LOT of time moving it around. If you've got more than 3-4 of them, you'll have to devote most of your time to moving Wells if you want them to run continuously.
Tbh you can mine manually faster than you can move the mining wells around
Without turtles I think you are stuck with manual mining until you can afford to make a quarry or equivalent and infrastructure to power it.
