Depends on what you're into. If you want some urban running, LA-SD is AWESOME. Mostly pax, little freight, but you can be prototypical. SP is another amazing route if you're into running through scenic, uninhabited land with lots of grades. The city of Everett is quite cool, as well. However, there is only the twice/day Empire Builder that runs through, so very little pax. I don't own CP, so maybe someone else can contribute, but I do know it's a slow-running route where track speed is around 30 for basically the whole route. Lots of steep grades, and no real passenger service (Railworks-wise, that is).
I can't speak for CP, but SP and LA-SD are VERY high quality. Regardless of which one you pick, you will feel satisfied. They are great routes.
