If I can get one Booster Pack, which one?

I would say that, unless shape-changing is very important to your character concept, the Martial Arts booster is your best bet. Ninja Run is an awesome travel power and it unlocks at level 4.

Also, as long it is totally vertical, you can jump up walls/cliffsides.

There's gonna be a Mutation!?!
it has strongly been hinted, i believe at herocon, that mutation will be monstrous bits related. no idea of content though.

First, get the Architect edition. You will have a choice of the Magic Booster or the Super Science Booster (but not the Martial Arts pack). And that will effectively cost you negative $5 ($20 minus the $15 worth of game time, minus the $10 booster that is included). Then go ahead and purchase the Ninja pack while you are at it.
Then when you are ready for more, purchase the Mac edition which will again ultimately cost negative $5 ($20 minus $15 game time minus the $10 Valkyrie pack), and then treat yourself to whichever other $10 booster you didn't get with the AE.
Ah, and almost forgot to recommend the GvE version as well. If you shop carefully, you can score that one for effectively a negative amount like the others.

As for slotting for Ninja Run, I put one extra slot in Swift and the just used the single in Hurdle and it's worked really really well as a travel for me
im also looking at a new pack the Additional Detail:
Mission Teleporter Power - Players can save time and get right into the action by teleporting directly to their active mission.
Exclusive Valkyrie Costume set - Costume pieces include two varieties of wings, a cape, a skirt/kilt, pants, boots, shoulders, chest, gloves, belts, and helmet with multiple details.

Correction, that is Tech/Cyborg or Magic booster - Science is NOT a choice.

Not sure if it was mentioned but if you buy the Architect Edition, you can choose either the tech or magic booster for free...effectively a 4.99 savings given there's a free month of sub in the box.
FWiW, i snagged the magic booster from that and bought ninja. Ninja run is fun, but I don't use it that often -- the pack as a whole is nice. Compared to the wedding pack (which I haven't bought), wedding is very overpriced.
edit: ooops, apparebtly it was mentioned ( ' :

Of course, the DVD edition of CoH is a hard to find item and not (currently, probably never again) orderable online item, least from NCSoft.

That was what I meant. Couldn't you read my mind?
I guess the whole point was as said: Compromise and get them all (and save a bundle in the process due to smart buying).

Not THAT hard to find -- NCSoft has sold the various "goodies" associated with the edition at Hero Con the past two years (and I know more than a few people have asked that they resume selling it online at some point).|

I believe some people had friends pick one up for them if they couldn't attend HC.

They've had them for sale the past two years and haven't sold out yet -- so it seems likely that they'll have them again next year. Anyone absolutely DYING to have them has had ample opportunity to arrange something to get it. And there are other online options as well. All that together, in my opinion, makes it anything but "hard to find".

Any other online options generally involve eBay or Amazon (read : possibly used. I know of a few sellers on Amazon, for example that have tried to tell people "Oh you can use the code more than once!"), and sell for $50+|

And you are right, they didn't mention selling out this year, so they should have them next year.
