Hard to say as all have dry kits. Maybe try choosing by reading each expansion and what type of sounds are available. There are samples on the toontrack page for the expansions. What type of music are you playing?

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

You probably don’t need any expansions at all. The core library has plenty of kits that should meet the need. Which dry kit you prefer will be highly personal. For most new projects I generally start with a Yamaha kit.

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.4.2

To put it this way: every library in Superior Drummer is recorded in a studio. Getting them to sound live like they are in the room you’re in would be more of a challenge than simply finding an expansion, if you need one, that mixes well with your instruments. Not have heard your sound, it would be hard to recommend an SDX.
