I mean, I would nominate Neomi Rao.
Biden's likeliest choice is probably Leondra Kruger, given that she's probably the youngest qualified black woman candidate for the Supreme Court and as a fellow Californian Jamaican-American I'd expect Kamala to be pulling for her. Other qualified black women, including Judge Jackson, are older by a span of several years.
If Biden gets a second choice, which I doubt, I assume he'll go with Srinivasan, because he might be the judge most obviously being groomed for SCOTUS in the entire federal judiciary. Srinivasan is starting to get up there in years, though; he's older than Gorsuch or Barrett (though younger than Kavanaugh, OTOH). Continuing with the California Supreme Court as a source of judges to be elevated, I can see Biden going with Cuellar as a second choice.
