I chose TESC specifically for it's Bachelor of Science Business Administration / Computer Information Systems degree. The cost is free for me (military tuition assistance), I already have all the CIS credits from my CCAF degree (17 year old military tech school courses FTW), and I also picked up some management/leadership credits from CCAF as well that fit in nicely. I was torn between a computer science degree (too tough on math) and business (wanted to learn business concepts, but seems too soft). BSBA CIS was "just right" for me. 
For the general "BA" degrees and such, it really comes down to what YOU want. If cost is the issue, compare cost breakdowns for the same degree at each school. If speed and customer service is important, well then TESC and Excelsior are automatically ruled out. If free FEMAs are important, then Excelsior and COSC are ruled out -- but you'll pay more in annual fee to TESC in exchange.
We all make our decisions for personal reasons, and no two of us have the same reasons. It really all depends on what is important to you.
