Im going to buy the Mudd's Into Darkness and Beyond pack. I want to account unlock the Vulcan Jellyfish. The second choice is easily the Kelvin Starshipa with the three different ships. After seeing CasualSAB rank the Mudd bundles and hating on the Kelvin Destroyer Pack, I am questioning the third option. He said that both ships in the Destroyer Pack are the same and not that great while the Vengeance class is really good. I had previously thought that the Vengeance was semi easily available for Lobi or on the exchange and the 2 ship Destroyer Pack was a better option but now I'm not so sure. Which is the better third pick?

The destroyer pack ship (it's the same ship, with negligible stat differences, a cloak on one, and a different look) is just awful - the ship itself has very little reason to want to fly it, the console is straight up bad, and the trait falls into the 'meh' category, even if it is technically harder to acquire.

The Vengeance is a great ship itself, the console will give you the option to run the full set, and the trait ... is fine. A key thing to bear in mind is the account unlock of a Lobi ship, letting you pick it up for any and every character without having to rebuy it.
