That is a complicated question. It's not just the martial art that you want to try to choose, but it is the gym/school/dojo as well.
In what are you interested? Self-defense? Fitness? Meditation/stress relief? I've had exposure to tai chi, karate and a self defense course that was taught by instructors who had studied a variety of martial arts (judo, kung fu and karate). Even within those martial arts, though, are a variety of styles and philosophies.
Maybe these links will help you: http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Moore41.html http://martialarts.about.com/od/styles/a/martialartstype.htm
The biggest thing, though, is finding a dojo where you feel comfortable and where you like the instructors. Even if you like the style of martial art, you will not want to go if you don't like the school.
