Geotherms+Nether lets you pick all 3......
30 or so Geothermals with a BC pump\TE liquid transposer, liquiducts\Alu cans from Xycraft\Enderchests is a very easy, cheap, fast setup that makes 600 EU\tic and is efficient enough that I've only had to move my pump once and that was because setting it up while being blasted by Ghasts with no armor, initially meant I situated it badly in the first place.
well, I wouldn't really say that the netherThermal setup is actually "easy" to set up. there's many systems that are easier to make (solar plants come to mind, as do treefarms+generators) but it's a possibility.
Tree farm + generators, or steam boilers.
Or a glass-powered watermill array;
Basically, you macerate/pulverize cobblestone into sand, then smelt the sand into glass, which gets auto-crafted into glass bottles. You then either use a liquid transposer with an aqueous accumulator (less laggy, small energy cost) or deploy these on a pool of water. (more laggy, no energy cost) Insert these into the bottom of a watermill array (routers are amazing for this) and you will now generate 1000 EU per cobblestone, at 2eu/t per watermill.
You could also use recyclers to power generators or steam boilers, and routers are again amazing for doing this on a large scale, but doing this on any meaningful scale is known to cause a good amount of lag.

Or... boilers! One can supply enough blazerods for keeping up 2 HP and an additional LP boiler! (once they're "preheated" of course) Just convert the steam into MJ then MJ>eu with Magma curibles.
one of the most straight forward ways is a treefarm (any kind) through a furnace to a plain generator (or multiple generators)
