Skeletons and abbrev-mode have always gotten the job done for me, with
minimal fuss.

Here's my skeleton for org source blocks:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-skeleton skel-org-block
  "Insert an org block"
  "Type: "
  "#+begin_" str - "\n"
  _ \n
  "#+end_" str "\n")

(define-abbrev org-mode-abbrev-table "blk" "" 'skel-org-block)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can see a whole range of options for inserting source blocks in this
FAQ:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#shortcuts-for-entering-source-blocks

Best,
Matt
