I've been thinking about starting up a new army and focusing on KT mostly with it, and I'm going to go either Space Wolves or Dark Elder. My question is do DE do better in KT than the standard game? If so, would the star collecting box be a good choice to go with? Thanks in advance.

The Start Collecting box is a good choice, because it have Reavers and a Raider, but a bad choice because it has an Archon (cant take him in KT) and Warriors (5+ saves in KT are suicide).

The best choices for DE in KT are Reavers, Mandrakes & Beast packs. Scourges are an excellent choice as well because they so customizable and even their basic weapon shines in KT
I'd say a really good KT would be 4-5 Mandrakes and the rest Scourges or Reavers

Then what I might do is get the start collecting just for the possibility of expanding Dark Eldar for larger games, and order some Mandrakes and more Reavers.

I think that would be a good call, even the formation in the start collecting box is nice for future army use imho. Regular warriors and witches will have some struggles since almost everyone is going to be bringing a good amount of ap3 in kt.

Do not get mandrakes if you are thinking of playing DE in larger games. Mandrakes are pretty terrible in regular 40k games. Reavers are still very good so focus on those.

Oblivious you can take 5 mandrakes or so, but do not over do it.

KT is for fun. You can take literally anything that fits requirements and still have a good time.
