There are 2 important questions that I need to ask before I can give you
an informed answer:
1. How many cards do you have?
2. What are your favorite clans?

Well, is price an issue? You can get Camarilla, Bloodlines and Sabbat War
for $61 each, or maybe less if you get lucky on Ebay. But, Sabbat boxes
aren't that easy to come by so don't expect to find one. If you do, they are
around $300 I think. You can usually find Ancient Hearts boxes for $60-80
on Ebay and Dark Sovereigns go for $20-30.
If you are just playing with Jyhad right now, I'd get a box of Sabbat War.
Don't forget about Final Nights though. Instead of hunting down a box of
Ancient Hearts and DS, you could just get a box of Final Nights for $60 and
it reprints most of the good cards from those sets.

Tricky. I'm assuming (probably incorrectly) that you are interested in
combat decks ("kickin butt"). The below is still kind of true for all
kinds of decks, though.
Camarilla has the most potent combat cards as uncommons (torn
signpost, Immortal Grapple, new style Thaumaturgy cards) but is much
the same as Jyhad with no Gangrel in. The Brujah precon has Disarm in
- one of the best combat cards card you can get.
Bloodlines is a superb set, but not worth getting unless you want to
invest quite heavily since it covers a lots of ground in a small
expansion. Well worth it, though.
Final Nights is really good... if you want to get into one of 4 clans
(Giovanni, Setite, Assamite, Ravnos). It does have some good clan
specific and generic cards in, but the real benefit is in the starters
which have some good rares in.
Sabbat War is a great combat orientated set. The vampires are solid,
the cards are great, and it is a highly recommended set all round.
Sabbat is marginally better than Sabbat War because it gives access to
the amazing Jimmy Dunn and has many more Blood Dolls. Also, it has
some great generic cards (computer hacking in particular). However,
unless you are very loaded, you are unlikely to get hold of much of
this set. "Gold dust" only partially covers how hard it is to get hold
of this set. Sabbat War is about as good and easily availible.
Ancient Hearts is a very pretty, if slightly dated set. The cards are
not great (since they have nearly all been reprinted in Final Nights)
and the only interesting element is that it gives access to vampires
you will only get in the Final Nights precons. Also getting quite hard
to get hold of.
Dark Soverigns sucks ass. The cards are very bad on the whole, and
only the vampires are worth getting hold of - again reprinted in the
Camerilla edition. Cheap as chips for a very good reason.

I would have to say that Camrilla or Sabbat War is going to have the best
crossover with your current collection.

Somehow I always thought that Final Nights boosters didn´t have any
reprints, just the starters.

It depends very much....is price a issue? Do you want to complement
your existing camarilla cards or start into new clans and sects? Are
you able or interested in getting more than 1 box?
Based on that, I would recomend the following;
1)Dark Sovereigns
I still like this set because it really fleshes out the cam clans and
gives you the inner circle vamps. Its also cheap, and what may seem
to be wallpaper cards have recently been upgraded or erratted to be
more useful. So for a single, cheap, cam box I would recomend this
first.
2)Final Nights/Sabaat War
These 2 boxes are the strongest boxes for independent/Sabaat clans
without costing you an arm and a leg. Either one would be great for
gettting into new clans and sects.
3)Sabaat
A very sought after set as it has some cards that are just so wicked
and long out of print. A good way to get into sabaat and get some
unique cards but it will be COSTLY. Therefore not recomended unless
price is no issue.
X)Ancient Hearts/Bloodlines/Camarilla
These 3 are not recomended for you as final nights is superior to AH,
Bloodlines is extremely tricky to play, and Camarilla reprints alot of
stuff you already have and adds no vamps you can use with your current
vamps.
Hope that helps, have fun getting that box!

It sounds like you'd be happiest buying two or three boxes of CE
boosters, as they have serious amounts of Malkavian and Obfuscate stuff.
The CE Malkavian starters aren't as popular as the other CE starters, so
you may be able to buy 2-3 Malk starters without buying a box of CE
starters. Hell, I have 3 CE Malkavian starters that I'll sell to you
for cheap. I'll send you an email. :)
You might want to get ONE box of Dark Sovereigns, but don't pay more
than $25 for it. All the DS Malks are reprinted in CE, but for $25, a
single box of DS will make you (and anyone else, IMHO) pretty happy.
