Im currently not sure as to what pack I should use so I decided to come onto these forums and ask for your advice

What do you want to do?
Do you want to explore strange new things? (horizons)
Do you want to move items around like a CHAMP (direwolf)
Do you want to work your way up the hard way, kicking and screaming? (magic farm)
Do you want it ALL? (monster!)

Whichever one is the most fun is my answer. That said, I'm actually having great fun with Horizons. I get to play with mods I hadn't seen before, like Engineer's Toolbox, or had seen but hadn't played with, like Archimedes Ships. (Which, is a mod that's too fun for explanation.)
The best modpack = the one you have the most fun with. I was surprised with the amount of fun I've been having playing Magic World 2.
My personal favorite is Magic Farm 2. It's great for when you think survival is too easy in other packs and/or you don't like tech (or suck at it like me). But if you like tech, I would suggest Unleashed. It was my favorite before MF2. But be careful with MF2; it is pretty CPU intensive. On my 4GB RAM laptop, it crashes frequently because it has "run out of memory". It is also quite hard starting out in the game, and you will probably need to use guides (I certainly did).
Not once have I crashed running MF2, and I usually only allocate 1-2GB out of my 6GB RAM.
Really? I really gotta allocate more RAM to it then.
EDIT: Just found out I have 32 bit Java... Time to change.
My favorite modpack has to be Resonant-Rise....OH WAIT!! I can't talk about that because it's not related to FTB....
hmmm...
Thinking...
What of the new 1.6.4 ftb packs have both Thermal expansion and Project Red in them?
I don't think any of them pack's have those two in 'em..
So I guess my answer would be none..

I was having the most god-awful time with strange lag in monster after I generated quite a bit of land and built a pretty significant sized base with ATG gen.. right until I disabled AGT. Now I have virtually no block-lag, significantly less issues, and never lost the beauty of the ATG generation. I recommend going this route if you experience issues after you get a bit of your map explored.
Also, disable/don't enable meteorcraft. It was awesome for the very beginning, lots of ores with the occassional "tidy-up" until it hits a tree and throws crappy pieces of ore/stone/netherrack/endstone all over your base and a 100 block radius making the landscape look worse than it would if a bunch of 5 year olds in creative had their way with it.

Oh! hmmm... so the 'poke finally managed to get both of them working.
As I have not used the FTB launcher in forever..
If you want to try different mods, then give Horizons a try.
If all you want is tech mods and no magic, then Tech World 2.
If you really like magic mods, then Magic World 2.
If you want a challenge, try Magic Farm.
If you want everything, then use Monster.
And, if you watch DW20 SP series, and you want to use the mods he uses, then use the DW20 pack.
Looks like you haven't experienced a meteor shower yet. Now THAT's a load of hurt.
I opened a thread yesterday just on the subject.
