After not playing it since the play-test, I've decided to go back and try out S&S. Life sort of got busy for me way back then, and my play-test experience was honestly a bit mixed when it came to the parts of the adventure path my group was saddled with testing. Looking back, I think I also wasn't that happy with the boons available for the AP in that set, especially when compared with those from RotR.
On a whim, I recently picked up the Alchemist and Paladin class decks and integrated them into S&S. I'm honestly finding the AP much more enjoyable with those small additions (and with both CD Damiel and CD Koren in my teams).
So, I suppose my questions are these:
1. What other class decks do people recommend specifically for S&S (if any) that you found improved your experience (and also which ones would be good to avoid for S&S?)
and
2. Basically the same as above, but for WotR. I was involved in the play-test for that one as well, but as I recall the playtest materials were much more limited for that one, and I never got around to playing the final release (though I'm planning to sometime soon now that I have time to potentially devote to it).
At some point I might check out MM as well, so if you'd like to address that one, feel free.

SnS - Tales and Gunslinger. Tales has a bit of everything, including a pirate naga (Celeste), lots of finesse weapons and spells. Gunslinger because it adds more guns to SnS and fits the theme well.
Wraith of the Righteous - Hells Vengeance decks, though they do make it a tad easier if using the characters since they introduce characters/mechanics that can ignore corrupted boons. But thematically the decks are spot on and fit right in if you are just using the boons.
MM - Magus probably would have my vote. Maybe one of the occult decks.
All that said, I generally am boring and just play with the sets as-is. Ultimately I think a lot of it just depends on what characters you plan to play and what decks would be good at supporting those characters.
