P90X is an excellent system, too! I've done a full Classic and a full Lean rotation, plus lots of halfsies.
For P90X, I would choose what you are weak at. For example, my strength is heavy traditional strength work, and my core is weak. The Lean rotation really did wonders. Rooh, yes, CLX has a lot of shoulder work, but substituting some of the shoulder work with triceps work worked really well for me. CLX has 3 distinct phases. The analogy that I like to use is the phases are like building a home: Phase 1 Burn-is the foundation phase. Without a strong foundation, you'll have a weak structure. The exercises performed in this phase are "combination" exercises. I know the natural instinct is trying to heavy up for leg work, but don't. You'll work your lower body much more if you concentrate on isometric tension. Phase 2 is the Push phase: This is when you will build a strong physique. This phase focuses on strength. You can reap some serious strength gains during this phase. I ended up having to buy a pair of 40 lb. 45 lb. and 50 lb. dumbbells for this phase. Don't be surprised if the scale goes up a bit the first week or two. Phase 3 is the Lean phase: This is the phase that will finish your physique. This is where the magic is. This phase does contain compound exercises and the exercises are tougher! I've never shook so hard during a workout than I did during this phase!
