Most people reccomend Muay Thai to complement BJJ because Muay Thai is simple, easy to learn and DEADLY at stand up.
Muay Thai is more about conditioning your body and making it into a total weapon. For instance in traditional Muay Thai they condition your shins to be extra tough, similar to a club or bat.
Muay Thai is so simple yet it has range attacks (Round House, Foot Jabs) and close quarter attacks (Boxing, Knee strikes, elbows) that can take anyone down from any style. Even a Wing Chun guy I know admitted that a Muay Thai guy would be a tough opponent even when hes fighting a Wing Chun type of distance.
Muay Thai is probably one of the best stand up styles but if your comfortable with Hapkido and Kenpo then its up to you. Whatever you feel works for you.
