Executive Summary
Based upon code analysis (am at work and can't test right now), Manyullyn should be the better coil choice by a margin of 13% vs. Enderium. Metallurgy's Tartarite is the same as Manyullyn. If someone can confirm with empirical data, that'd be peachy.

Here's the raw coil data:
Interesting, I never knew Manyullyn was the most *efficient* coil extractor. However, you will need more of them. I believe the math is roughly:
energy = (efficiency/3) * extraction^bonus
Enderium energy is : (3.0/3) * 3.0 ^ 1.02 = 1.00 * 3.07 = 3.07
Manyullyn energy is : (3.5/3) * 2.5 ^ 1.00 = 1.17 * 2.5 = 2.93
Per block, Enderium can extract : 3.07 / 2.93 = 1.05 = 5% more
Per block, Enderium puts : 3.0 / 2.5 = 1.2 = 20% more torque drag
So, yes, Enderium is in theory most compact energy extractor, but by only 5%.
Practically speaking, 5% is not enough of a concern. The optimal number of Enderium blocks for 2000mB/t steam to RF conversion with 80 blades @ 1800rpm is 37.
To match that RF output, you'd need 37 * 1.05 = 39 blocks, which is not enough to require another whole coil. And, since Manyullyn is more efficient, you wouldn't need 2000mB/t of steam, but rather just:
2000 * (2.5 / 3.0) = 1667 mB/t of steam
...which would require fewer blades. But, if you want to keep 80 blades and extract all the energy 2000 mB/t of steam can offer, then you'd need:
1.2 * 37 = 44 coil blocks, which is 5 and a half coils (required depth is 6 coils).
When you compare a 44-block Manyullyn setup against a 37-block Enderium setup for extraction:
Enderium : 37 * 3.07 = 113.59 units of RF/t
Manyullyn : 44 * 2.93 = 128.92 units of RF/t
...which means for the same steam input, Manyullyn should be 128.92 / 113.59 = 1.13 = 13% overall more efficient !
Based upon code analysis (am at work and can't test right now), Manyullyn should be the better coil choice by a margin of 13% vs. Enderium. Metallurgy's Tartarite is the same as Manyullyn. If someone can confirm with empirical data, that'd be peachy.
