I went with Fairfax1, Indie & Studio Pop.  I'd have definitely preferred Vintage Dry over Studio Pop, but I wanted to be able to use it in AD2 with the midi packs.

I didn't get any since I already own all of them from my AD1 days and I got the AD2 upgrade before Plat came out.
 
I am only shy 2 kit pieces so I'll get those and hope that one day they will offer a new kit piece.
 
I only need to decide which MIDI paks to get. No rush there as I have about more than double my needs of MIDI packs/grooves from my various drumplers.
 
And, I'll save my three kit redemptions for when they have three new kits.

Are the ADpacks tied in some way to the MIDI packs, or is it just how you saw fit to use them, as not to mix genres?  Now that I look back at the choices, I think I answered my own question:  I see the for some ie Jazz, there are corresponding kits and MIDI packs. I guess since I already have the percussion pack, I should get the MIDI pack then.  As usual, I'll probably end up figuring out a way to justify buying them all;)

My final answer is:
Kits: Fairfax1, Indie, Jazz Brushes
MIDI: 60's, Indie, Percussion.
 
I appreciate the info and advice- I definitely would have otherwise made choices I would have later regretted.

I got the Reel Machine MIDI pack to go with Jazz sticks thinking it would probably be mad enough to work quite well.
I was right..

Fairfax Vol1, Fairfax Vol2 and Black Velvet.
I had already purchased Jazz Brushes, Jazz Sticks and Session Percussion.
I was really pleased with this bundle as I had always wanted a few extra kits and viola, there they were.
I would probably like the two Oyster kits as well and probably the Vintage one as well but I think I have enough to keep me busy for a while.
I like the idea of the midi packs as well, as I'm the kinda guy that starts with presets and alters them to suit rather than starting a pattern from scratch.

I got Studio prog, Fairfax 1 and Session percussion. I didn't realize that studio prog was part of the kits you get when you upgrade to AD2 from 1, or I would have picked something else as I have Black Velvet in AD1 and thought about upgrading at some point. I like fairfax, but studio prog is my favorite in AD2 so far.

I have almost all of them now. I chose Fairfax Vol2, Retroplex and Blue Oyster. I chose the Blue Oyster over the Black Oyster because I have the Abbey Road drums.

Okay, I'm going to be the oddball here and say I've never even installed Addictive Drums. I use EZdrummer and didn't see the need to learn yet another program.  But it looks like I'm in the minority here!
