I thought Shotokan had full contact? G95 can clear that up. Anyways, if you want full contact, go for Muay Thai if there is a school that teaches it around your area. Some TKD schools are full contact (mine included), but most aren't. BJJ from what I understand/read is full contact grappling. Kickboxing is, also.
I'd pick a hybrid style just because some hybrid styles mix in several different things (like my school teaches grappling with TKD and Kali). You would get more of a "well rounded" MA in one place

Shotokan does have full contact; I have the 'battle scars' to prove it!

If you like a striking art Kickboxing will do.
Of course it has full contact sparring... |

i would say if you can go with tai chi and kickboxing. tai chi is a good martial art to mix with another art.
