Line 14:
Automation level similar to GT pipes but without sloshing, and with better filtering. Can store small amounts of fluid within the conduit itself. Can be redstone controlled. Supports basic filtering. Transfer rate isn't upgradeable on fluid conduits, but item conduits can get up to 64items/cycle instead of the base 4. You can also downgrade item speed to 1/cycle which plays well with round robin mode. They also pull by themselves, and don't need a pump/conveyor like GT.
 
Item conduits shine when their existing item filter is used. It essentially is an infinite filter, which also has the abilities of normal eio filtering. This is many people's go to for separating siftable ores from thermal centrifuge ores. It can also be used in conjunction with automated assemblers that use more than 1 type of fluid. Can be used to automate an assline and act as an interface from AE2 to an assline. AE2 would dump parts into a chest, then EIO would filter them into the correct assline locations.
 
Fluid conduits are some of the best fluid transfer in the game. They're instant, have what can be a really high throughput, and can have every fluid move through one conduit. They have instant transport, but a slow input of 500L/t. So if you want to do more than that, you need something pushing into the conduit. This makes their pull speed reliant on the output rather than their listed rate. Not the fastest thing overall, but great for systems that use a lot of fluids. As simple move 1 fluid a few blocks, they aren't great.
