You said money shouldn’t be an issue one way or another. That means your parents are paying, right?

Unless your parents are loaded, i’d still go with Davis.
I personally decided to go to Davis because it was the cheapest option for me, even though my parents could afford a more expensive college. This is the reason why:

Even if your parents have prepared money, it’s still their hard earned money. My dad is constantly working and rarely takes breaks. He’s retiring in a few years, and if that extra money can make my parent’s retirement more luxurious/relaxing in anyway, I will be happy.

The material taught/quality of education is same at Davis and Berkeley. It’s just that a lot of more competitive/more academically smart people go to Berkeley.
