Which of these California Nursing programs is the best?

My understanding is that nursing is a career where the school’s reputation in the field is what matters. USNWR and other “prestige” rankings are pretty much meaningless when it comes to serious RN programs. Any of those schools will offer excellent training but it’s impossible to know which specific one is best for you.

If it’s not too late, consider applying to SDSU and some other Cal State nursing programs as they are excellent but likely to cost much less. I know someone who turned down several UCs for direct admit to the SDSU program and she is loving it.
