After you unlock the Alien Containment, I don't see why you would use the Lantern Fruits. Reginalds produce 155 more energy /and/ they require a lot less space, allowing you to stock up on an insane amount of energy to the point you can basically forget about it. Before then, I use Marblemelons. You could debate on the fact you need to replant them, and the time most certainly will add up after an extended game, but I'd say no more then the time you would spend on making additional trips to the nuclear reactor due to the lantern's lack of energy economy. (less energy = more trips) Considering the marblemelon's 110 energy in comparison to the 65 energy, that's drawing close to double the trips.

Overall, I just keep the chinese plants and lantern trees just for looks. It would be another story if the fruit only took one space, but it takes four. It looks awefully beautiful, though.
