Buying for a child?
Magic is a 13+ game. Wizards of the Coast rate Magic: The Gathering for ages 13 and over, so younger children will want an adult to help them learn.
Which pack is which? Draft and Set Boosters are the everyday packs for opening and playing. Collector Boosters cost more and hold more foils and special frames, so they suit collectors.
Boxes are the safe buy. A sealed box has a known number of packs, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
