If you're more into the casual playstyle, Outdoor Retreat or Spa Day.
Honestly I think Strangerville is the worst of them.
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.
Ha'aheo, e hoʻomau i kō kāua aloha, kau a kau.
Strangerville is my least favourite GP. I do like the world, CAS/BB items, and military career, but I prefer creating my own stories and more open versatile gameplay. I think I will enjoy playing out the story, but I doubt I'll want to do so multiple times. You might love it though as it really depends on your own play style. I suggest checking out the SimsVIP guides and reviews if you haven't already to see which GP appeals to you the most.
Agreed. One thing I like about JA and OR is the fact that there are more choices of accommodation than you really need (the way I play, anyway) so you can afford to replace a couple of the vacation homes with communal lots, so visiting sims have more things to do when they are on holiday.
If you want gameplay that you don’t have to move for and that can be both utilized in your sim’s house and in the world- spa day is pretty darn solid. Bonus points if you yourself like yoga, massages, or incense or have any new age sims.
If really love jungles, exploration, and Indiana Jones, or South American interior design? Heck yeah get thee the Jungle Adventure. However unless you go to the world you won’t really get ahold of any of the new skills or interactions.
Outdoor Retreat is if you love, just love camping. Like even the bugs attacking your sim makes you nostalgic for the great outdoors. I am this person and you might be too. Bonus for it is even if you don’t use the world, you can get tents and coolers and a campy guitar and be able to stargaze/cloudgaze (best. Interaction. Ever.) (seriously especially if your sim is an artist or chef that 8 hour inspired buff is no joke).
Then we got Strangerville which. I love. So much. Look- if you are a nerd who loves cryptids and conspiracies and weird stuff this is the pack for you. Or if you really love the southwest aesthetic. This is the only GP of those listed that come with a new trait (I think?), and has a new career and items like the sparring machine that can be placed anywhere.
TLDR/In summary-
Spa Day: New Skill, items great for new age sims everywhere. Easy access.
Jungle Adventure: you really only get the most of the pack if you go to the vacation world, but once there the gameplay is deep.
Outdoor Retreat: Is more evenly split than JA with some stuff that will only benefit if you go to the world, but has some good stuff for daily sim life.
StrangerVille: Has an entire livable world, and a new trait and career with items that can be used anywhere even if you don’t want to do the mystery.
If you really want to get a pack now, I'd go with either Outdoor Retreat or Jungle Adventures.Both have good build/buy items and some of the CAS is really great.

I kept one small and one large cabin, replaced the other two with a bowling alley and a spa, and put a restaurant where the campground was because tent camping can be problematic during snowy weather. I mainly use OR for a writing/artist retreat especially now that we have both laptops and the digital sketchpad -- once my artists get enough skill to paint from reference I send them up to Granite Falls (and Selvadorada) to do a lot of painting of the scenery to have unique paintings for home or to sell/give as gifts.

I usually put a bar and a spa in Granite Falls. Like you I keep a large cabin and a small cabin but I tend to keep the campground too. I don't own the bowling or restaurant packs so those wouldn't be options for me anyway. In my current save Selvadora has a cafe and a playground where 2 of the villas were. In a previous save I had a nudist bar in the jungle but I got bored of that save after one of my favourite sims died fighting the Mother.
