A good teacher is a good teacher, regardless of style, and a bad one is a bad one. Go and check them both out like everyone has been saying, see how well each fits you.
Where are you located? Who are the instructors?
Good advice.
So far I have tried Wing Chun, Arnis/Escrima, and Goju-ryu. I liked all of them but as I was only introduced to entry level stuff it is hard for me to assess if the styles will fit my needs long term (as I have only superficial experience with them). Hence my original post.
The style they offer here is "Wudang Tai Chi Chuan".
Edit: I found a place offering Xin Yi. See below.
In random order:

Nej jeg bor i Odense i Danmark.
I live in Odense, Denmark.
I know traditional Xinyi Liuhe will help you lose weight (Well, you'll probably put on some muscle too) , and it can be really good for self defense. It's a very direct style.
But yes, again, whether it's good for you or not depends on whether you like it and whether the instructor is a good one.

I don't know Karsten Buch and I can't open the website from China but those two masters are good as far as I have heard. If you choose Xinyi just make sure that the instructor has enough connection to them.2. Kodokan Odense (Xin Yi Ch’uan) - in Danish:

Instructor: Karsten Buch - connected to Master George Xu and Master Qian Zhao Hong. I didn't mention this in the original post as I found this in a new search.
One more thing: Training for Xinyiliuhe properly is a bit more difficult than Tai Chi and takes a lot of energy.

Thank you for the replies!
Both Practical Tai Chi Chuan (Wudang/Dan docherty) and WSL Ving Tsun are very very good systems. Both detailed teaching methods with practical application of the skills.
Its essential you visit the schools as much of it comes down to the individual instructor.
