so let me get this straight, the start you off with a scientist who can use a ranged attack, then they give you a scientist who can only deal damage at point blank range why give him a range attack i...

To be completely honest most of my character abilities were imported straight from GW1 during the time that PopCaps "Loyalty program" was in effect and those that I didn't have I collected fairly quickly but that was way back when I first started playing a year ago so I cannot, for the life of me, remember which pack or packs dropped them.
If I were to make a recommendation I'd suggest the Sticker Packs which cost 35K; the Amazing Brainz pack, Fertilizer Fun pack and the Wonderous Pack of Greatness but I have no real reasoning besides the fact that those packs have the better chances of dropping character pieces.
Generally speaking, the alternate abilities come through the 35K packs. I've had a heck of a time getting the alternate zombie abilities from any packs. I have all the plants abilities, but only have one alternate zombie ability, which I've had for a long time. I think I can safely say that you won't get them from the 40K packs, as I have bought millions worth of them in pursuit of the legendary characters, which search I recently finished.
Because I'm not concerned about collecting all the customizations, I have nothing left really to spend coins on but the 35K packs, outside of Rux and consumables, trying to collect the rest of the abilities. If I had to guess, I've recently bought around 20-30 amazing brainz packs along with the odd wondrous pack of greatness, and have yet to get one ability from them. Contrast that with my daughter's account, which I've recently earned a lot of coins on. I have her buy the plant 35K packs, and I'm watching her just rack up the plants alternate abilities!
You can console yourself with knowing that a large percentage of the player base considers very few of the alternate abilities to be better than their counterparts. One that I can think of is the iron maiden for cactus, I'm sure there are others, but I'm sleepy. Some are universally reviled, like the armored heal station for scientist.
