Frankly, whenever I venture into the brave new world of Spatialite, I come back to good old shape files after a while for performance reasons. I'm not sure if Geopackage has significant performance improvements over simple Spatialite but if it hasn't then my recommendation for simple GIS processing is certainly to stick with shape files for the time being - despite all their shortcomings.
