dirty is good as long as it's realistic (poking an eye is not because it takes way too much nerve for the granny, kicking the balls IS)
if the fight took more than a few seconds against anyone NOT trained in any kind of MA - it's not what I need.
I think what you're looking for is Wing Chun. It doesn't require you to be excessively strong or make karate-like kicks and superman moves. Very effective.

It's not a matter of which martial art is best, it's a matter of which martial arts suits you best.
