assuming you mean Server 2008 (?). CCCP is ideal for you if need a codec pack just to play your common day files and understand much the various audio/video/etc settings. For instance, you want to download an anime or a movie and just play it.
K-:ite is somewhat more advanced in that it allows a wider range of customization withing some limit. Plus, it intends user to be able to play any known format, however obscure or whatever its source. For instance, you can'y play Quicktime movie or Real movie files with CCCP.

In conclusion, it doesn't matter which you choose as both use similar technology for the basic purpose.
