What's important to keep in mind about Ambitions is that they are not yet finished, but will be at some point, so you need to keep in mind that, if you choose a different Ambition you won't get the payoff for the current one. In the recent past, there was also an opportunity to reminisce about your ambition, which would allow you to refresh your memory of what happened by viewing the echoes related to it. It's not available anymore, but will likely be returned at some point, maybe when the new updates start. Keeping all that in mind, here is an incomplete review of other ambitions:
[spoiler] Heart's Desire is my Ambition and so the one I can say the most about. It is centered around different players of Marvellous, the card game in question, and their backstories. Some of the players are Bishop of St Fiacre's, Manager of Royal Bethlehem, and Topsy King. Their stories are often heartbreaking, but it has moments of levity and fun as well. It ends just when the final player is ready.
Bag a Legend is centered around Vake and the hunt. It's more of an adventure, with betrayals, sudden allies, and the unexpected reveals. Has Sardonic Music-Hall Singer and Sinning Jenny in it, albeit not in huge roles.
Light Fingers starts as a light heist and mystery story, but then turns into a more of a horror story with pretty unique lore and revelations of more extremely horrific crimes by Masters. It even offers you to change your Ambition for free approximately in the middle. A while ago, there were several Ambition updates in relatively close succession, but Light Fingers never got its, likely because of all the changes with the game. That's why it's said to be one update behind. That update can be combined with its final one, if Failbetter wants, so it won't necessarily end later than the rest of Ambitions.
[/spoiler]
Personally, I would advice to stick with your current Ambition for now. The End of Ambitions will not be postponed indefinitely.
