I have trained in Bujinkan and TJJ.
Which one you go to is very much based on the teachers in your area and what their background is.
My advice is look into the teacher/school more than the art. You get good Ninjustsu/TJJ teachers and bad ones!
IMO TJJ is more effective for me than Ninjutsu. I work as a doorman and never found much in Ninjutsu too effective in comparison to TJJ - it lacks depth of knowledge IMPO.

I want to learn something that can realistically work if I ever had to defend myself.

I can Personally confirm that TJJ works. BJJ is something to steer clear of if you are talking street defence.
Mainly because the last place you want to be is grappling on the ground, people around will take your head off! Seen it happen many many times! Look at crazy's little animation thing - that is a bad - bad position to be in on the street.
Most TJJ schools teach you how to throw without having to hit the deck. also they teach fast releases so that you can get back to your feet quickly.
Yoshinkan aikido is quite similar to Traditional JuJutsu, this may be an option?
Personal preference though.
hope this helps,
cheers
