The naval designer is fun at first, but in retrospect, it doesn't really add that much to the game. Naval, in general, is not something you pay that much attention to, at least compared to land battles, so a designer for it doesn't really make much of a difference besides it being fun designing your own battleships. The added focus trees are fun though.
Overall, it just isn't worth 20€, and I'd only recommend buying it on sale unless you really like naval combat.

The tank designer adds a lot of customizability to your tanks, and I've found myself using it the most of all of the designers, the focus trees are also fun even though I haven't used them much.

Stellaris: Apocalypse only adds a handful of fun mechanics to mess with. Planet-Killers are cool and all, but I find myself only ever using them in a roleplaying perspective. What it offers really isn't worth almost 20€. I'd only recommend Apocalypse on sale, unless you're dead set on roleplaying as the Empire.

Stellaris: Utopia adds so much to the game. Megastructures, Hive minds, Ascension Perks, all of which has made the game much more enjoyable. Some of the best mods have come from this DLC. I genuinely could not imagine playing the base game without it.
