LOL, these types of threads always lead into 'my martial arts is better than your martial arts' or 'my sensei is better than yours'. There has been some good advice here however, particularly about keeping an open mind and taking bits and pieces from different martial arts. I chose Muay Thai because of of its practical application and the fitness involved. I encourage you to shop around and see what suits your budget, lifestyle and personality. Of course, my sensei could beat the shit out of any of your senseis!
