I tried a little krav maga and thought it was pretty good. Didn't stay with it for a variety of reasons, mostly because it isn't available where I am. It will get you in shape. I am not in shape and it kicked my butt. I think it is more practical than a lot of stuff out there, although I am not a martial arts guy. I am leery of specialized arts that neglect areas of fighting, but integrated practical combatives training isn't all that available, at least where I am. IMO to be practical you need something that incorporates everything. Krav Maga at least talks about some weapons related stuff, but I don't know if all their instructors are skilled in that. At least the one I went to wasn't. Then again, as I said I am not a martial arts guy and about anything I did would be better than what I do, LOL. Anyway, I think KM is better for practicality than some other stuff you will find, as it tries to stay practical and avoid rankings and stuff. And the workout itself is tough.
