How about a "Footprint Index" column, assuming a basic design without Rollers, Splitters etc (just include the required Furnaces, Cutters, Wire Draws, etc). Assumes each starter produces a single ore used in the recipe, and each "Footprint Index" for a given component will bubble up to more complex items so it becomes easier to calculate the value in a uniform manner. That'll give people a good overview without trying to figure out an optimal design for each item on the list.
