Overall, the TE way is cheaper to set up, cheaper to run, and gives you more materials per ore. The only benefit of the IC setup is that it's faster per-macerator once you spend a ton of resources to max everything out, and GregTech will only make that expense even more ridiculous. However, instead of building one very expensive overclocked rotary macerator and all the EU generators to power it, you could build several cheaper-to-build and cheaper-to-run pulverizers, getting the same speed plus all the bonus dusts.

GregTech does introduce the centrifuge which, if added to the processing, might get you some good extra resources, but the centrifuge recipes seem to change every time he patches so who knows what they'll end up looking like a month from now. There's also the Factorization route which will triple ore outputs but seems somewhat expensive and slow; I haven't really tried it yet though.[DOUBLEPOST=1355451722][/DOUBLEPOST]
Fixed for you as this has confused me throughout this post and probably others as well.
Doh! Right, I assume that's what the OP meant, since he was talking about the pulverizer. Pulverizer and induction smelter are from Thermal Expansion; the induction furnace is from IndustrialCraft.
