Should be noted that the Corporea System is much more involved to set up than the RFTools Storage Scanner. The latter is simply adding power, having it search for Inventories, then pruning the list to exclude those you don't want shown (automation, usually, as having a few manual machines at the lowest priority can help crafting in the field).
The Botania system, while also cool, uses Sparks on top of the Inventories you wish to include, which can sometimes upset aesthetics, and generally uses a buttload of Blaze Powder (which is annoying before you have a dedicated farm).
I know Caporea Spark on a Drawer Controller was buggy last time I played with Botania as inventory management (1.10 pack, not sure how long ago now). Did that get sorted? Been away from the game for a while with some personal business.I'm Aesthetically handicapped anyway, and I don't like RFTools so Corporea is perfect for me.
I don't know, and frankly I'm becoming disenchanted with Storage Drawers. It's a great mod, but every time I try and work with it more than as a barrel, it turns into a nightmare.
For me, the appeal of AE(2) and RS is all about integrated autocrafting. In large modpacks with many complex mods with long crafting chains, repeatedly crafting the same complex thing becomes a chore. I don't think I can play a tech mod any more without something like these mods provide. I also tend to automate crafting of pretty much everything eventually, and I prefer compact solutions like AE2 or RS provide to more space-devouring solutions like LP.
For storage, there are alternatives. EnderIO, RFTools, Storage Drawers, Extra Utilities all provide feasible storage solutions. For autocrafting, LP is good for smaller setups but I don't see anything that can replace AE2 or RS if your systems get large enough.
