The short version is this: if you want to upgrade your default weapons (the five you start the game with), or to get some basic weapon mod (assault rifle recoil, sniper rifle ammo, SMG ammo, pistol scope, or shotgun accuracy), or add customization to your default class (the six human classes), or to get some low-level single-use items, you should get recruit pack.
If you want ANYTHING else, veteran is the way to go.
--------------------------------------
The long version:
If you are interested in knowing my qualifications, I now own almost every color customization on my basic six human classes (i.e. I have had four additional color unlocks for each basic class). I also own Avenger X (yes, level 10), Predator X, Katana X, Mantis X and Shuriken X. So yes, I bought tons of recruit packs (mainly to get to Mantis X).
I believe there are three basic item rarity levels: common, uncommon, rare.
In recruit packs, you usually get 5 common items (1 each). Getting uncommons here will be quite difficult (but it happens once in a while).
So what are these "common" items? They include:
--upgrades of the default guns in each class: Avenger, Predator, Katana, Mantis and Shuriken.
--one type of weapon mod for each weapon: assault rifle stability damper (less recoil), pistol scope (add scope and accuracy), shotgun smart choke (accuracy), sniper rifle spare thermal clip (spare ammo) and SMG magazine (spare ammo).
--class color unlocks for the six basic human classes
--LV1 ammo: Armor Piercing, Cryo, Disruptor, Incendiary, and Warp
--LV1 armor module: Adrenaline (movement), Cyclonic (shield), Power Amplifier (power damage), and Power Efficiency (power cooldown)
--LV1 rail amp: for each weapon type
--single use consumables: missile, medi-gel, survival pack, thermal clip pack
In veteran packs, you get 1 uncommon for sure, and the rest is less clear-cut. You can expect to get some single use consumables, and they come in lots of three. You can also expect LV2 ammo/armor module, or LV1 rail amp, but these comes individually.
So what are those "uncommons"? They include (this part is probably less accurate than the one above):
--the other normal guns in each class: Viper, Scimitar, Tempest, Locust, Mattock, and Phalanx
--the other weapon mods: barrels (damage), etc.
About the "rare" category—there is no package that will guarantee a rare item, so it’s really by chance. I’m not sure which package to get for these items.
My knowledge of the "rare" category is quite limited. It seems to include the following:
--Widow, Revenant, Claymore, Carnifex, Hornet
--racial unlocks in the third column (salarian infiltrator, asari
adept, krogan soldier, quarian engineer, turian sentinel, drell
vanguard), or human gender unlocks
--racial unlocks in the fourth column (salarian engineer, asari vanguard, krogan sentinel, quarian infiltrator, turian soldier, drell adept)
