Romance languages

Okay, I'm a fluent speaker of American English, and I'm planning on learning one of the so-called 'Romance' languages: the choice comes down to Spanish (probably most practical here), French (AAAAAAAA), and Italian (interested me ever since I read Catch-22).

So... which should I pick? And why?

I'm a Portuguese speaker and I can tell you our grammar sucks, it's too complicated.
Go with French, it's slightly less complicated and slightly more useful.
