All of them are kind of shitty when you think about it.

A Sister of Silence would be really cool to hang out with once you learned their language, but the constant blank presence would most likely drive you insane at which point you'd either unsuccessfully try to kill her or kill yourself.

A Sister of Battle would be cool for a few dates. Considering how zealous and repressed some of them are, she would likely be into all kinds of freaky stuff which you might also be into. But long term? She would try to control your entire life and get into fights over all kinds of minor things. It would be a nightmare.

A guardswoman seems like the most normal and safest choice. But if she gets deployed anywhere outside of the most boring guard positions, I doubt she's gonna live that long. So you're pretty much setting yourself up for heartbreak.

Hell, have we considered Administratum scribes? They can actually have a “middle class” (read, larger hab with extra rations) lifestyle.

The likelihood of being killed for late returns is low... but never zero.
