I have not bought anything since the pandemic hit but I really like the cards that I am seeing. However, I am not used to the differences between Set and Draft booster boxes. For background I have been playing MTG for years and pretty much only play commander with the exception of prerelease tournaments. For those of you who have opened this product what is the better buy for a player like myself? The difference in price between the 2 boxes is the Set box is $5 more.
Correction a Set Booster Box contains 30 packs, not 24 and can have up to 4 rares per pack, albeit very unlikely. Set boosters also have less cards per pack. 12 vs. 15 for draft boosters. it may be 12 vs. 16 I suppose if you count the insert card.

Obviously if you just want cards, but singles. If you are building a deck or a cube, buy singles..but if you want to do Limited in any shape with friends, definitely Set Booster, especially if the prices are that close for you, they are just better per pack, more fun to open.

A set pack has cards w increased quantities of foils and showcase cards.
You get more fancy things but a few less rares/uncommons in my experience.
