Lost Ruins of Arnak expansions
The Missing Expedition vs Twisted Paths
Short answer: buy The Missing Expedition first. Best for solo players and couples who want a campaign. Also good if you own Expedition Leaders and want more leaders and tracks.
Pick Twisted Paths first instead if this sounds more like your table: For regular Arnak players who already own an earlier expansion. It adds a new board and more to track, but doesn't change the game much.
