Not OP. A bit out of the game but when I was watching streamers a few years ago Buildcraft was pretty popular.

Another comment mentioned this modpack:

Analysis paralysis of which one to choose is getting real. Thanks for the recommendations.

Go with FTB. From skimming the news on the FTB page, I saw that buildcraft appeared to get an update, which implies it is included. FTB is a huge mod pack with many popular mods on integrated to work well together. You can always go back to vanilla buildcraft if you want.
