Reasons for my selections:
Jacksonville has advantage over Disney for:
Even though it’s noticeably smaller, it is far more natural looking
Disney also lacks in the signage department
Underwater viewing
Offers more enrichment

Knoxville has advantage over Jacksonville for:
4,000 square feet of more space
Compared to Jacksonville’s, the enclosures aren’t as narrow so the tigers can get away from the fencing
More viewing opportunities
Also two underwater viewings
Better education

Columbus has advantage over Knoxville for:
Far more natural / has more shade and privacy
Less visible fencing
More varied terrain
Slightly more space

Omaha has advantage over Columbus for:
Has even more varied terrain, enough to hide the back fencing
Better waterworks (natural looking stream and pool)
Has more space with one enclosure than Columbus does with two

Nashville has advantage over Omaha for:
Cultural significance and educational value is through the roof
Is slightly larger, but so lush that it’s often hard to find the tigers (a negative for us but a positive for the cats)

San Diego Zoo Safari Park has advantage over Nashville for:
Also culturally significant
Has three enclosures, each different in their own way
Has 14,000 more square feet of space

Bronx Zoo’s Tiger Mountain has advantage over SDZSP and the others for:
Being great without having a theme, style, or any over the top flashiness
Underwater viewing stocked with large fish
Has over 35,000 square feet more than than SDZSP and 50,000 more than Omaha

Bronx’s Monorail exhibit has advantage over Tiger Mountain for:
Ditto minus the underwater viewing
Has the ultimate privacy advantage since their exhibit is closed to the public for half the year

Minnesota has advantage over all for:
Education and hands on signage
Is at least an acre larger than the rest
Both habitats are equally amazing, rather than one falling short in quality compared to the other
Can see tiger up close one moment and far in the distance from a vista in the next
According to Google Maps there may even be a massive private yard in between the two public spaces, which would make the entire complex actually 3.5 acres
