My seat of the pants answer would be Ripken if you don't have a solid lefty crusher or two. It depends to some extent on the parks in your division and, to a lesser extent, in your league. It also depends on the number of LH pitchers in your league. They all have their pluses.
If you have Chipper, using Ripken might let you use Chipper's righty bomber card depending on the rest of your lineup.
If you decide not to use Ripken, the other 3 guys all are about the same and the nature of your lineup will influence your decision. If you need a #2 hitter, it would be Nomar or Lloyd. If you will hit your SS lower in the lineup you might want Appling for his clutch. If you're going to hit him 9th, I would use Cal for sure against RHP and move him up against lefties.
