How would you rate UC Davis' and U.H. at Manoa's Cosmology programs?

In summary, UC Davis and UH Manoa are ranked lower than UC Santa Barbara in terms of cosmology programs and physics programs in general. However, UC Davis is not ranked on the site that compares astronomy programs for UCSB and UH Manoa. Additionally, there is a website that offers one person's experience and observations on astronomy programs.

Not when compared to each other but compared to other programs in the country...

Also, I'm looking for a comparison in terms of future career prospects in Astronomy and quality of PhDs produced...

Thanks!
