There are mostly Benedictines in my area, but there is a Franciscan college.
Personally, I like the Society of Jesus. They are a powerful order and have the coolest vestments.

I was going to say the Temple of Venus, but I guess you aren't considering that option.
The coolest vestments is not a good reason. Which one has principles you like best? Which one can best use your particular talents? What tasks do they emphasize? For example, I think the Jesuits are mostly teachers, right? Franciscans mostly work with the poor and sick, and I don't know much about the Benedictines. But you should. [Edit: looked them up in Catholic Encyclopedia on line. They are mostly teachers and scholars, and also missionaries in that they do these functions in other countries around the world.]
Matching yourself to an order is not unlike choosing a college: it has to do with who you are and what they want. If they are primarily contemplative, are you good at meditating quietly for long periods of time? If they are globe-trotters and get involved in church politics, as I believe the Jesuits also are, can you deal with the tricky moral issues that come up in those situations? Are you a serious scholar, and can you work in an academic setting? Do you have compassion for the sick and the poor, and can you take nasty smells in hospitals and slums?
Those are the questions you need to ask, not the design of their vestments.

Discern first if you are called to be a diocesan or religious priest. If called to the religious priesthood or order, join the priestly order that you discern is the order that God calls you to join not based on your personal choice but on the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and not because a priestly order is powerful or have the coolest vestments.

You know that movie Money Python and the Holy Grail? In the movie at the beginning they have these dark ages priests that walk slowly in a line chanting some requiem and after each line of the chant they smack themselves in the face in unison with a board they are carrying.
I think you should join that order!

Catechumen, in previous conversations and previous questions, you have stated that you are married. I do not think the priesthood is open to you. On the other hand, you could become a deacon.

I figure there must be a catholic order that has sex with young women. Avoid the sects that diddle little boys and look for "Our Ladies of the Young and Voluptuous Conception".
