I've done several types of martial arts (Kenpo, Tang So Do, Kung Fu, and American Freestyle) and they were all good in there own way. Kenpo seemed to incorporate the most different disciplines, Tang So Do was fun (its kinda like tae kwon do), Kung Fu was the hardest for me. I think it had to do with the instructor, he was hard core. We had 2 hour class, one hour of working out to start and one hour of instruction and he was a full contact type guy...very fun. And Freestyle was like more the sport, lots and lots of sparring. I would try a couple places near you (they usually have like a free trial period or very cheap for like a week or something), and see what you like.
