It depends...
...on what you mean by "effective". Are you looking for an art that does the most damage in the least amount of time, or an art that is efficient in it's movements so that the practicioner expends the least amount of energy possible to end the conflict? Or do you mean something else?
Are you looking for an art that is purely defensive or one that can be offensive as well? Are you looking for something flashy (usually not an efficient choice as far as energy goes) or something more subdued?
I train in Aikido and one of it's features is effeciency of movement and energy. We use our opponents' momentum against them, and gain control of their movement by redirection. Its not a flashy art, but it is beautiful and graceful. And there are no offensive techniques. You must be attacked to respond with a technique. When done well, it is also extremely efficient at ending a conflict quickly, and with little harm to the defender and the attacker as well. Aikido is about harmony.
