Hi,

it depends on what you need.

Take a look at
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ubuntu-restricted-extras&searchon=names&suite=xenial&section=all

If you compare

ubuntu-restricted-extras
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/ubuntu-restricted-extras

and

xubuntu-restricted-extras
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/xubuntu-restricted-extras

the only difference are

ubuntu-restricted-addons
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/ubuntu-restricted-addons

and

xubuntu-restricted-addons
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/xubuntu-restricted-addons

However, both packages already recommend to install Microsoft TrueType
core fonts. By default recommended packages automatically get installed.
I wouldn't install those fonts, since I don't need them. Do you need
those fonts?

Compare ubuntu-restricted-addons and xubuntu-restricted-addons, the
ubuntu package recommends the extra ffmpeg codecs for the Chromium
browser. Are you a Chromium user? Both, the ubuntu and xubuntu package
recommend to install a flash player. I don't install a flash player
since years.

If you don't want or you shouldn't have the knowledge to select
explicitly the packages you want, then it doesn't matter what "meta"
package you install.

Both more or less install the same, the ubuntu package installs two
additional packages, but most likely you just need the xubuntu package.

Résumé, IMO you should install xubuntu-restricted-extras, but nothing
is missing, assumed you should install ubuntu-restricted-extras, you
just get two additional packages, one e.g. is related to the Chromium
browser.

Regards,
Ralf
