I highly recommend judo...
Judo is far better for throwing them, and leaving them incapable of getting up to fight again, and you don't get into any potential legal trouble.
I've taken a bunch of martial arts, and all of them have some great techniques to integrate, BUT, judo (or even ju-jitsu) provide a great set of foundation skills that are invaluable in a street fight.
As noted above, I won't trade blows with the other guy... I already know that's not my strength and I'm going to get hit... So personally, I'm closing with people grapple or opening up a distance to use a weapon.
I'll take that first hit that I know I'm gonna get in order to get a choke in or throw an opponent... Winning is not about not getting hit, it's about preventing the other guy from getting up.
