Selfdefence Techniques

Which of the martial arts should I cross-train in?

I’ve been doing a fair bit of research, and in that research, I came across many unique arts with their own advantage/disadvantages.
Criteria: Self-defense, technique and practicality. Maybe a bit of aesthetic pleasure also. I’m not concerned as to how much training/how hard it’ll be, just a short description of them will do.

I was thinking maybe Muay-Thai (self-defense) Taekwondo (selfdefense and practicality with some flash) Western Boxing or Savate (self-defense and practicality) and finally Aikido (Self defense)

Thank You.

Choose a fundamental martial art and add to that.
Eg. If ya do Muay Thai or a striking art add grappling like Judo, BJJ or Wrestling.
I train in Judo which is grappling and I cross train in Boxing for my strikes.

I know people who do striking like Kung Fu and do some grappling so they can escape from chokes etc
