What style to pick or do I stay the same?

Hello. I am looking for some advice and guidance. I want to get back into karate after a long time away (life happened and could not find a dojo or time that fit). I did shotokan karate-do at my former dojo. I love it there so much and it was in part the karate but also a lot to do with the owners. They are now family friends and I love them and want to honor them by picking up where I left off. I was a belt away from getting my black belt before I went to college and want to try and finish that journey. Here is my issue. I keep hearing mixed issues with the style and dojos. I also want to have my two boys join me as we'll and want them to enjoy it as much as I did. My question is do I find a dojo that does shotokan or is there a style that would be better fit for my family. I want to knownyour opinions and thoughts so that I can get a feel for other perspectives and make a decision.

Thank you!!
