I don't know if best means closest race, or best overall realistic outcome. Ideally, competition brings the best out in both guys, but for example Hart and Johnson may have great camps and the 3rd tackle never plays. I like that you brought up nickle corner, but my guess is they'll use Phillips all over the place and there will be more of a rotation than other years. Same goes for Higgins being used around the field and Ross getting plenty of snaps (if healthy and routes don't take a step back) for his ability to extend the defense.
Though we're desperate for the sample size of Johnson's sample size to be legit vs "good enough" Hart, TE is the interesting race for me. They have so much talent at WR and will keep 3 or 4 on the field at a time with Burrow. We won't see as many 2 TE sets, and they're comfortable with CJ in his limited role even as a starter. Sample becoming the guy they thought they were getting would be a big deal. The OL needs an absolute weapon in clearing room for Mixon or a threat in motion to double up a struggling lineman. Game planning for a struggling lineman leads to my dream battle..... LG: MJ vs XSF. I don't care who wins, it just means they signed what's left of Warford to gash at RG.
