There is one public T14 law school in CA and one in MI. Cal and Michigan are essentially at the same rank, year in, year out. Both UCLA and Michigan will give you great opportunity if you perform. I would go with fit if cost is not a consideration. Have you visited both?
Lastly, with regard to residency, almost no school will give you credit for years you are there in school. I highly doubt any UC school would. Regardless, the cost of attendance at top public law schools are about $6-7K more for OOS; not the huge discrepancy that undergraduate costs are.
Good luck with your choice.
The T14 schools are:
•Yale Law School (always #1)
•Harvard Law School (#2-3)
•Stanford Law School (#2-3)
•Columbia Law School (#4)
•Chicago Law School (#4-5)
•NYU Law School (#5-6)
•University of Pennsylvania Law School (#7-8)
•University of Virginia Law School (#7-10)
•University of California Berkeley Boalt Law School (#6-9)
•Duke Law School (#10-11)
•University of Michigan Ann Arbor Law School (#7-10)
•Northwestern Law School (#10-12)
•Cornell Law School (#13-14)
•Georgetown Law School (#13-14)
