Seafarers is my favourite by a long way. Its main bonus to to make sheep a lot more useful, so that the resources balance out more. And it has a number of scenarios in it to widen the game experience.
Cities & Knights is a game-changing expansion. It ramps up the complexity a lot, adding three new resources (commodities), technologies, a bunch of new cards, and requiring you to protect your cities from barbarian invasions. I haven't found it that great. In my opinion, it detracts from the chief point of Catan: trading. With eight things to trade rather than five, it's just that much harder.
Thanks, that is useful advice.
Since I mostly play with my children (8 & 6), I think that Seafarers sounds like the better expansion to go for at the moment.
