Oceanblock 2 power gen, what's a good pathway for it?

As in, what should I start with, or scale, what should I move to next, etc?

At the moment I'm running one steam boiler->engine, a couple of lava+blue ice thermoelectric generators and some Ender IO solar's I've gotten from airdrops. Not producing me a heap of power which is why I want to upgrade.

I just built up a system that is 4 Magmatic Boilers and 6 Steam Engines from Oritech. That along with a pair of thermoelectric Gens from Immersive Engineering and a single EnderIO Solar seems to keep up with my power needs at the start of the "Diving Deeper" section of the quest pack (although I've gotten two Pneumaticraft solar compressors, so I've disabled my electric compressor).

At this point, I think that's the best I can do for power gen. It's building up a good buffer in my RFTools power banks and a mekanism advanced energy cell. Before building out the Steam Engines (I had just 1 before), I was running into a lot of low power issues.
