Keep in mind, when i21 hits, the booster packs are all being split up into individual pieces--you won't be able to just click the "pay $10" button, you'll have to buy them piece by piece from the Paragon Points store. (Though you will get 400 points a month to spend on whatever you like, just for keeping your subscription active.)
That said, I have ALL the current boosters, but my favorites are the Magic, Martial Arts and Mutant packs, in that exact order.

Purely in terms of the costume parts I like the Magic booster, especially for the Baron jacket and the Renegade hat. I also like the steampunk pack but it makes me wish the curly hair that comes with the female hat choices was an option without a hat.

Toss up between Magic pack and the Macintosh edition (which I bought just to get the Valkyrie costume, the mission teleporter and the free month).
I thought they had the mac pack items for sale as a booster, but I don't see it on the current list of packs. Oversight?

Officially they haven't said exactly how they will be grouped, but they've said you can buy a pieces and/or sets ala cart and they'll have bundles of stuff to buy in one shot. Granted nothing is official yet about what is going for how much, but I'd imagine they'll at least keep the current super boosters available as a bundle as well as have them split up into a la cart pieces for those who want just the powers or an emote or something. Anything new, I'll bet they'll go with a mixed back of individual pieces and sets.|

As far as the OPs question, costume pieces alone...its hard to answer without knowing what your preference is. It really depends on what type of theme do you usually go for with characters. More of a tech theme usually, cyborg are great. Magical of course goes to magic. I'm usually not a fan of animal based themes, but I LOVE the pieces in the animal pack. The origin pack has some GREAT capes and auras that can be used for many things. While they packs are themed, all of them have pieces that are very versatile in our costume creator and look great and can usually be used in many themes.
I'd say me personally I find myself using the cyborg, valkyrie (from the mac pack), and mutant pack the most, but those are the themes I prefer with my characters. I have them all and play around with all of them.
As far as additional goodies in the packs, animal and ninja are probably the best just for the ninja/beast run powers. Mutant and Magics buff powers are nice, but really don't do much, but they can help in a pinch especially at low levels. The self destruct power is useful in situations where you just don't feel like walking back to the hospital or if you know you're going to die, to skip out on the debt and maybe take out a few of them with you. The mission transporter is also useful at times, though the long recharge limits it. If changing your body type is important to your theme with different costumes, science would be the way to go.
I get the most out of the origins pack, but I have all boosters minus the partypack and steampunk. Origins gives you a variety of capes(one passes as a nice generic cape), full mantle style without the vetreward or anything, and a nice variety of auras to pick from at level1.
