I would have to go with Soresu the most defensive of them all. I like to idea of waiting until your opponents makes a mistake and then attacking. Also they say a true Masters defence is unbreakable.

I really like Soresu both in style and philosophy (I even have a shirt that says I practice Soresu.  ) but when I do sparring sessions with my brother to practice for our lightsabre video, I end up using a form very much like Djem So. So, if I were being honest, I'd probably be a Djem So practitioner.

Big time, Djem So would be my number 2 choice. It looks really cool when used correctly like the Anakin vs Dooku rematch.

My natural style would be Djem So, but I would likely get carried away with it.
I like the idea of Soresu, and because I would be a newbie I would probably use it at first. I love using the style in video games when I am up against somebody who plays all day every day (little brother), where as I have only picked up a controller for the first time. In UK football games I am ultra defensive, kick the ball out of play at every opportunity, and am passive to the point of time wasting. Usually people lose their cool and when they do I almost always capitalise. At worst I come out with a draw.
Ataru would not suit me because although I have good explosive strength I am a big guy and am not the most mobile – I am more suited to powerlifting (though the use of plyometrics helps jumping without doubt).
I would probably end up going with Makashi since, having natural strength, I could work on precision and prowess and take other saber fighters to school.
So, Form 2 it is.

I would Master every form so that I could create my own hybrid-combat-style. My foundation would be Soresu's defense-based footwork, that form has the least amount of wasted movement. My Offensive style would be derived from the power of Djem So, the unconventionality of Jar Kai and the unpredictability of Juyo's attack angles.

I think that I will stick to my force powers if I ever come up against you.

You know that I am the GM of Lightsaber-combat and Force powers in an RPG, right?
I've had to settle many a dispute on this very subject.

Nice. I will no doubt check out advice in that section since I am playing through the KOTOR games again.

I just dusted-off KOTOR last week.
I have yet to play it through on my 360, and was thinking about playing it this weekend.

I'd go for Yoda's - its the closest to my own "run away" unless cornered and then "flail wildly" if that doesn't work..

I'd like to think that I would use Soresu but, I'd definitely end up using Djem So or on the off chance that I lived long enough to become powerful, Vapaad.

Should probably go in the Literature forums, as there are no lightsaber forms in the films, only the universal "Gillard Form".
