Well you can do the math yourself. Each geothermal is 20EU/t.
Batbox = 32UE/t
CESU = 128EU/t
MFE = 512EU/t
MFSU = 2048EU/t

Remember that you can always set up several of the cheaper ones in parallel instead of making one expensive one. For example you can have 6.4 Geothermals per CESU.

Personally I would make no more than 26 Geothermals. You then produce enough to max out a MFE when you can eventually can afford it. The lava drain from them all running at once will be enourmous, and I hate non-reneawable energysources even if it is just a matter of moving the pump. So instead start saving for solar panels or windmills if you live somewhere high enough for that(and have compact windmills).

Np, just remember the CESU outputs medium voltage! Use a transformer or upgrade your machines before connecting it up.
 
Pity we lost Advanced Power Management when we moved to 1.6.4. The adjustable transformer would definitely be worth it.
