Seafarers
Cities and Knights
or
Regular Expansion
Is there a big difference in the expansion packs?

There is a different 5-6 extension for each expansion.

Published by Kosmos in 1995, Settlers of Catan is the first of the Catan game series. The original game is expanded upon by expansions and extensions: the former adds new gameplay to Settlers, while the latter adds the ability to add two more players to the game, creating a game for six players. The 5-6 player extension of the base game itself was released in 1996. As of 2008, there are three expansions to Settlers, adding new gameplay to the core game, and each expansion has a matching extension. Gameplay for 5-6 players with expansions require the extensions for both the base game and the expansion(s) involved.
Most games seem to involve 4 or less players, so I would get the Seafarers expansion first. I think the best Settlers game is Settlers Of The Stone Age.
