Which mod pack do you use for Single player(survival)? I want to use Feed the Beast mod pack but there are two, Feed the Beast Beta Pack A and Feed the Beast Retro SSP. Which one do I use?

The Retro pack is a pre 1.3.2 pack that has the mods that worked with that pack, but you will be playing in a much older version of Minecraft.

Beta A has the mods that currently work with 1.4.

So it depends on what you want to do. A map with the retro pack probably wont upgrade to the latest version with out some serious issues, but it has more mods.

Beta Pack A's remaining intended mods are hopefully going to all be updated to 1.4.5 before too long and the pack will thus update to that. That will make it the preferable pack, IMO. The only big problem with starting with the Beta Pack A now is that you'll miss out on Redpower's Nikolite, Basalt, and Tungsten generation in the chunks you visit. GregTech makes most of the gems spawn, but it just uses vanilla Emerald and skips the "green sapphire" and it mimics the Emerald's behavior and only has them each generate in certain types of biomes.
