wing chun vs muay thai

In my opinion, MT might not be a good fit. The question was "which one would be best to cross with Aikido.

Personally, I wouldn't cross anything with Aikido. MT, especially, is a very "hit 'em hard and fast, and don't stop 'till they're down" type of fighting stratagy. While Aikido is mostly "don't attack, let them attack and use their force against them, and stop when they are subdued" strategy. This is why I don't feel that these two particular arts would blend well.

However, it does take a long time to become proficient at Aikido. Since MT gives a quick return on invested time, it would be a good choice to practice until you're good at Aikido. As long as you can make the mental switch between stratagies when you decide to.
