Answer 1

a type of judo or traditional aikiddo or even ju jitsu would be physical.. prices... well range from $70- $200... depending on the prestiege of the dojo

Answer 2

You can learn "kickboxing" for nearly free at your local boxing gym.  There are a ton of kick boxers out there that will share technique with you in almost any boxing gym for free man.  Besides I wouldn't spit on Karate if it were on fire to put it out.  Okinawan Karate and Kenpo Karate are decent, but other than that Mainland Karate sucks out loud.  The only thing Mainland Karate has is a great punching technique and that's all it has going for it.  Sounds like Kickboxing would be more for some one like you.

Answer 3

most physical? Kyokushin definitely.

you want the most physical for full contact, then go with Kyo and be very careful what you wish for in there.

Good luck with the 100 men kumite when you 'finally' get your black belt man.

Regarding price, it depends a lot on the location of the school, it can be $60 a month to $100 or even more if it's in downtown new york.
