the buildcraft pipes if used properly are compatable with ic2 machines. however the power for the 2 mods cant be used interchagably. that said you can canvert between the 2 with an energy bridge. i find that in the begining when you are first starting ic2 is a great start but i move very quickly away from ic2 after that. i still use it just in limited aplications. my suggestion is to look into applied energistics. its expansive but insainly powerful. of course my friend yiazzy might dissagree. um mine factory reloaded is also a great and useful mod. as well as thermal expansion.
