Not really familiar with all the reactor types they offer, and their power output potential. Especially for reactorcraft.
Thanks for the help.

I have big reactors, reactorcraft, ic2, gregtech, and a few other mods

IIRC a ReactorCraft 3x3 fission reactor does about 965 MW (probably more, I had an awful setup) and a fusion reactor is about 32 GW average.
Big Reactors can do tens of thousands of RF per tick, which is nice, but nothing compared to ReactorCraft, which (again, IIRC) can get in the millions of RF per tick.
IC2 can't compare to the above two, and I don't know about GregTech.

You forgot to ask your question...
Power output potential would probably be IC2 < Gregtech < Big Reactors < ReactorCraft, the gap between Gregtech and BR is huge, and then between Big Reactors and ReactorCraft is even bigger.
As to what "types" they offer...can you clarify what you are asking? ReactorCraft is actually a realistic mod and has real world reactor types, the other 3 aren't really very realistic at all.

-Reactorcraft fusion reactor is the absolute pinnacle of power production in any mod afaik, but it's an absolute beast to build.
-Bigreactors are customisable, you can make them moderately awesome or staggeringly big depending on resources and need, still not a patch on the ReC reactors though.
-Never built the endgame Gregtech stuff but if it follows the pattern of the early game items it'll require a ton of grinding for not very much reward. And the IC2 nuclear reactor is OK, bit fiddly to set up so it wont explode and the power output is shamed by the newer energy mods.
One day, I'd like to see someone running a Reactorcraft, Gtech and Mekanism fusion reactor side by side, for comparison

I did ask it, just not in the form of a question

that would be stating a request, not asking a question...technically
As for the types RC adds ... what are they ? As far as how wide the gap is, how wide is it exactly ? As far as numbers go I mean[DOUBLEPOST=1400611867][/DOUBLEPOST]

Challenge accepted.
A well built fission reactor can produce easily over 100k RF/t. Reactorcraft adds a pebblebed(Extremely low power reactor but can still produce in the 5 digits of RF), a fission reactor(Much power such wow), and a enormous fusion reactor(Mind blowing amounts of power. In the millions.)
I thought there was a weird type of reactor with one of these mods. It had some weird name attached to it, but that may have been a particular style than a specific block. But I for the life of me can't remember what it is.
btw ,back in 1.5 greg fusion reactor could mantain 33 plasma generators, each one worth 2000 eu/ tick, now i don't know the EU / RF conversion ratio, but i wouldn't put greg< Big reactors without checking
Greg is grindy though.........................

That's the fusion reactor, also known as a Tokamak.
Reactorcraft still blows it out of the water though.
That goes without saying

Tokamak ... that's it ... Thanks.
Are they sustainable long term without intervention once setup completely, or would I need to manually switch out fuel and things like that?

I guess the other important question is- which one has the least "lag"/FPS problems?
So is ReacterCraft's one.
I think IC2's reactor doesn't really go into the 4 figures without getting silly.
Greg's is ~64kEu/t output. (see wiki)

Allegedly significantly more grindy than Greg's.
1 MJ ~ 2.5Eu ~ 10RF.

It can also make iridium and platinum; apparently Gregs planning to add other recipes as well.
How do you adequately harness the power of reactorcraft. I've never really dabbled in it much, so I haven't the slightest clue.
I meant, capture ... I don't know how to output power from the turbines.
I wouldn't mind a brief walk-through of each
Hook the turbine up to either a rotational dynamo or use one of the new multiblocks, which I believe is called an industrial turbine. Those will convert directly to RF. If you don't want RF, then ElectriCraft or a lot of shafts.
