This was actually a pretty hard decision to make, and the Vulcan Deep One gym equipment came in a close 2nd. If you don't care about the rower that is included with the Warrior package and would prefer a squat rack, I highly suggest going with the Deep One package.
The Warrior package really does come with everything you could ever need to have a complete Crossfit home gym. With this package, you will not be needing to replace or add anything in your garage gym for a LONG time, especially because the package is from Rogue, a company that is known for having extremely high-quality products
This package is for those who want a complete home gym. You will want for nothing with this setup. It literally has everything you would have at a standard Crossfit gym and more.
This is definitely an expensive package, there's no doubt about that, but it does have basically everything you are going to need. The only thing that it is missing is a squat rack. You can, of course, get this as an add on. The fact that it comes with a rower says to me that the creator of this package is a Crossfitter and knows how important that exercise is to overall fitness. I think it's a fantastic package if you can afford it.

Other Factors to Consider
Bottom Line
Now that you have a much better idea of the standard CrossFit gear packages that are available from the leading names in the industry, you should find it easier to select one that fits your needs perfectly. Don’t worry too much about future-proofing your home gym at this point; the very nature of strength training means that unless you spend an absolute fortune in the first place, you will inevitably need to upgrade certain components and add to your equipment at some point in time.
If you would rather not have to look around for a separate rowing machine, you can go for something like the Warrior CrossFit package, one of the high-end Rogue CrossFit bundles that include a Concept 2 Rower, with a PM5 performance monitor. This package includes everything you can find in the Alpha package mentioned above, with an extra kettlebell, set of steel plates, rogue parallettes, and a high-quality American-made slam ball. Although it is undoubtedly one of the more expensive CrossFit packages deals available and probably not something a beginner would be interested in, it could make a great gym for an intermediate or advanced CrossFitter who loves to train at home on a regular basis and enjoys discovering and challenging his or her physical limitations.
If you are just starting, one of the cheaper Rogue CrossFit gym equipment packages, the One Basic from Vulcan or the Bronze package from Fringe Sport represents excellent value for money. For intermediate Crossfitters, the Rogue Bravo package or Charlie package, One Deep from Vulcan or Silver package from Fringe Sport are all well worth considering. For heavy hitters who need a wall-mounted rig, one of the high-end packages mentioned above, with a Rogue W4 Garage Gym, would be an excellent choice.
