The benefits are only limited to the instruction you get and how you apply the training.
As for those choices.... They can be excellent methods of training and self-defense. Taijiquan offers a lot both in physical training and in philosophical and mental training (if you have a good teacher who can help you to do more than just a pretty, slow-moving form). There are various forms of gung fu that offer a great deal of the same, but focus on different aspects or different strategies of dealing with opponents and with life.
Just don't get caught up in the hype and trappings. Seek the essence of the art and you'll gain much more than a pretty sash to wear.

Tai chi helps with balance and discipline. The original form, called Dim Mak by some, is a very deadly martial art.

how do you master your fears.
Meaning if you are afraid of the boogey man and you study from a real teacher that teaches you properly with resistance and doesn't just have you dancing around in silk pajamas and is really teaching you to fight, then you will master your fears because you will be able to kick his ***.
However most CMA teachers ESPECIALLY tai chi, don't teach that way.
There are probably more jewish chinese in america than there are good tai chi teachers (good as in used for combat, not just LARPing in central park).

Kung Fu means perfection through hard work. It'll help you conquer yourself! The rest become less of an opposition.

Good body conditioning, discipline, confidence, respect of others. Learning to respect others. Making good friends.
It is all good. And you learn who you are, and what you are.
