My two eurocents: Krav Maga is not a martial
art but a system to get you rapidly and effectively out of sticky situations. The principle behind it is to surprise and overwhelm a potential threat /aggressor by attacking as viciously as you can instead of defending / dodging. Also, it is not supposed to last long and, if the attack doesn't work...well..tough luck.
The Russian "systema" is BS, I was interested in it and even tried a couple of lessons. Looks impressive but it doesn't really work, unless you already have a strong background in other martial arts, and the "spiritual" and historical aspect are a fraud, basically. Spetsnaz don't train in systema, as systema founders claim, and instead they use sambo - a real, legitimate and effective martial art.
Wing Chun...
well, I'm not familiar with it, but, from what I've seen, pretty as it may be, has no place in street brawls.
If I'd be a man and martially inclined I'd choose boxing with a little kickboxing or muay thai on the side for self defense
