The BEST martial art for you is "Blood Talon Fu".

Now for the hard part - YOU have to figure out what that involves - and that will take a lifetime

Yup - that's what I was getting at. The key to "what art is best for YOU" - is YOU!

I agree with Karateka and YODA, it is the martial artist and not the martial art. Thai boxing is a good style, but you cant determine wheter it is any better than any other style of martial art.
