It does depend on your goals.

Weapons: Escrima
Hands: Kenpo
Feet: Tae Kwan Do
Body: Jujitsu
Self-Defense: Mix all of the above
Meditative: Eh... I hear Tai Chi is the best, but I wouldn't know

Or, if you want to learn about the Japanese sword--all about it--you take Iaido. It teaches you the traditions behind it, as well as some of the intricacies of using one.

If you like beating people over the head, take Kendo. If you really want to learn how to fight with the katana, take kenjutsu--if you can find a dojo.

There's also Taejutsu, but you should probably have a good foundation in other arts before jumping into that.

My personal favourite: hmm... It's a three way split: TKD, Kenpo, Escrima.
