I did kick-boxing for a few years and want to start a new MA again.
I am unsure of which one is best for me..
[my options include] Judo, Karate and Taekwondo...

Well, the first question would be "What do you want out of your training?"
Of those, I personally think somewhat highly of Judo; many (but not all) TKD schools are garbage, and have given the art a bad name; there are some solid fighting TKD teachers out there, but they are generally the exception.
Don't rule out things like Boxing just because they don't come from places that speak foreign languages. Keep digging around in your area; many of the best teachers can't afford yellow pages advertisements.

Just go for a Martial Art, that appeals to you.
