Sparring's very important, but you need to train in order to develop the tools you need to spar. Plus, there are self defense skills that you can't really practice in normal sparring (eye gouges, knee kicks, etc). As for styles, I kinda think it's most important for you to be better at what YOU do than the other guiy is at what HE does, if that makes any sense. Of course, if you can fight in more than one range, that skews the odds heavily in your favor.
