Stuff Packs - best to worst

Hey guys!
I currently have all expansion and game packs, however I've never really been that bothered about Stuff Packs. I'm certainly not rolling in money and what with all the awesome CC out there I've never really felt a need to purchase SP's quite as religiously as the others. So they're mostly one of those things that I'll pick up if I have some spare cash - which is now! I currently own Vintage Glamour and Luxury Party Stuff and I'm in the market for one more pack.

I'd be super grateful if you guys could throw some recommendations at me. What's your favourite pack or which do you think is the best value for money? Better yet, why not rate the packs from best to worst? - You'll be helping me decide on an eventual purchasing order :p
(I did try googling this, but I can't seem to find a great deal of worthwhile information about the packs)

All packs listed, for your convenience

Toddler
Fitness
Bowling Night
Vintage Glamour
Backyard
Kids Room
Romantic Garden
Movie Hangout
Spooky
Cool Kitchen
Perfect Patio

I'm thinking Spooky Stuff might be relevant to the time of year, whilst toddler and kids stuff would be lower on my priority list as my sim currently does not have any children. I also live in an apartment, so maybe backyard stuff would be redundant.

I'd recommend you watch this video to help:

It's all opinion, but he really explains the pros and cons of each pack, and it's based on a player survey.

Here's my personal opinions. I'd consider myself more of a builder than a live mode player, so a lot of this is based on build/buy and CAS items. After all, this is a STUFF pack right?

1. Laundry Day is the #1 best pack. The gameplay is realistic and I use ALL of the items regularly (which is more than I can say about ANY other pack... GPs and EPs included). The clothing and hair is nice. It's just an all-around awesome pack.
2. You might also consider Perfect Patio because you might be able to put a hot tub in your apartment (depending on the style), and it does come with some nice wicker furniture.
3. I don't personally have Movie Hangout but I've been wanting it because it does have SOME cool decorations. It's a very specific style, though, so check it out to make sure it's your thing before you invest.

What NOT to buy:

1. Cool Kitchen stuff was a huge disappointment. I rarely use anything from that pack.
2. Spooky Stuff is just a whole bunch of Halloween costumes. Cool for Halloween, but not worth $10. Only thing I really like from that pack is the pumpkin carving.
3. Fitness Stuff comes with some cool-looking workout equipment, but it's all interactions you can do with base game. There's a serious lack of new furniture/decor with this pack. Only thing I really like is the new workout clothing.
4. I'm not a fan of Bowling Night, even though I like retro items. But these items seem very "commercial". Not things that easily fit into a residential lot. I WILL say, though, that the bowling interactions are cool. Just not my thing, I guess.

I left a few off this list because I just don't think they're what you're interested in.

My favorite are the ones that allow for new mods and least favorite are the ones that make old mods not work.
Best = City Living
Worst = Seasons
