There is no such thing. To begin with, the term "style" is often misused as it pertains to Martial Art education. How a person "performs" is their own unique fighting "style." The difference in curriculum is more accurately labeled a "system."
As a general concept, the Martial Art is nature in progress. It is an education, and practical application of life, focusing primarily on self improvement, self defense, and harmony with one's environment. What makes any system of Martial Art effective is learning the ideal way to deal with or resolve any possible situation one might encounter.
Having one Martial Art system accomplish this differently than another system does not make it any more or less effective so long as the objectives are met. There may be individual opinions as to which system teaches techniques and tactics that a practitioner might like better, adapt to easier, or find the curriculum to be more suitable according to personal preferences.
What it boils down to is either it works when called upon, or it doesn't. The "effectiveness" is never guaranteed, and only proven through real-life application. Most well-known systems of Martial Art have been used successfully by students and experts at one time or another, so they are all equally effective when learned accurately, and performed correctly.
