Kendo.

Aikido came from sword work.

Much of TKD is pretty commercialized these days, and doesn't really relate back to Aikido in terms of cross training. This of course assumes equally qualified instructors....
Meh....spending $500 on beginner's kendo gear and moving forward and back in a straight line, whipping a shinai around in small, tight arcs, is really going to relate back to Aikido much less than TKD training would.
