At least neither of them are NAU.
Given that the point of a university is dual: to get a rounded education and to get a good job... Wall Street journal ranked ASU in the top five for corporate hiring... additionally ASU is ranked higher (slightly) in international university rankings. So saying that UofA is "generally regarded as the best overall institution in the state" really isn't true. All of this with ASU having no enrollment cap because the state won't allow it; therefore, having to accept every applicant who meets the state requirements, including the lesser students that UofA is allowed to reject because they have an enrollment cap. Honestly, given the facts, ASU being equal with UofA, is simply clowning UofA.
