hmm. popularity is a bad reason to choose a martial art. consider these additional pros/cons:
wing chun pros: -one influence of jeet kun do (bruce lee's martial art) as it involves centerline strikes which are damage -nobody recognizes it, so you have an advantage when fighting
cons: -might be tougher to get good training at higher levels since fewer people do it
muay thai pros: -elbows and knees are the deadliest strikes there are (outside of dim mak, if you buy it)
cons: -i'm not convinced that the standard posture (arms up in the air) is the best, but then who am i to argue with a martial art that is hundreds of years old?
either way, both would be good. neither deals with wrestling/ground combat, but unless you find yourself one-on-one with a dude in an abandoned alley, that shit doesn't happen. everyone has a friend who jumps in, which is why staying off the ground for as long as possible keeps you alive in a street/bar fight.
