It's an easy choice for me. I will have to give this one to Denver. None of the other climates come close to the variability that happens in Denver. It also gets considerably more thunderstorms than any of the others. Anchorage is the snowiest, but its climate is gentle and boring with long winters and cloudy and too cool/wet summers. If the summers were warmer there with more thunderstorms it might win this one...but as it is now, nope!

I'm probably going with Denver due to a strong 4 season variation.

Although that's not ideal for me because summers are somewhat hot and winters aren't consistently cold enough. I'd choose to live a suburb on the western end of Denver. Probably in Golden. Winters are likely to get more snow, and summer is probably somewhat cooler there. I start getting altitude sickness above 7000 ft, so it must be far enough east to stay below that level.

Portland easily for being Mediterranean but also having actual seasons and rain unlike Santa Ana.
