can't wait till packs update liquiducts look amazing
this will clean up my boiler rooms so much

I haven't tested it with anything other than water, but where I think Golden pipes could hold 500 units, the Liquiducts hold 600. They also appear to try to reach an equilibrium with pipes around them, which in some cases helps distribute liquids to multiple destinations more evenly. Additionally you can use a Gold Pipe in place of one of your Liquiducts and wrench the Liquiduct to output only. It winds up serving as an Iron Pipe but with a higher capacity. This might especially be useful at junctions. Or at least... I remember doing this when testing them after the update.
It is very easy to run Liquiducts in parallel as well. If a Liquiduct has any liquid in it, it will not connect to any new Liquiducts you place except if you wrench the Liquiduct with contents from the side of the one you want it to connect to.
...and giving a redstone signal to the input only mode (input into the Liquiduct that is) makes it act like a wooden pipe as well. So... these things mimic Wooden, Iron, Cobble, Stone, and Gold Waterproof Pipes all in one. The only reason to not use them is if you manage to find a liquid viscous enough that a Golden Waterproof Pipe is faster with. It would be nice to get a list of how it handles each liquid instead of the vague "information" on the wiki about it...

Overall liquiducts are a lot closer to how a real piping work, even accounting for properties of liquid. On the other hand BC liquid pipes are some kind of abomination. In liquiducts water will flow rather quickly, but lava more slowly. Steam however will flow like there is no tomorrow.
Not sure, with Golden Waterproof Pipes you got only 1/4 - 1/3 of the EU you get with the non-steam-setting. I guess the Steam-Option only works for Low-Output Reactors, so that you do not lose as much steam because you are not able to pump it out. But maybe this whole steam-thingy. I would count on an IC2-Change instead of better liquid-pipes.
RP-Pipes behave a bit strange with Forestry-Machines. So in that case the Liquiducts could become the new Liquid-Transport Nr. 1 (well... or Golems with Buckets^^). They look very interesting.
Hmm anyone tried the steam boiler > turbine with these? Just wondering if you deliver more than 100% if the turbine explodes or something?
