Go and visit the different campuses to see where you feel most comfortable. Talk to students to see which students you get alone with best. Look at the department websites of each school to see which courses you find the most interesting. Think about how close you want to be to home or to a big city or a rural area - all of those variable can be important in making the ultimate decision.
Personally, I would go to Princeton. I have friends who have graduated from Yale, Princeton, and Harvard, and my friends from Princeton seemed to have the best undergraduate experience.
(If you're interested in law, though, Princeton is not the best option because they do not have a law school. This doesn't matter that much if you're only looking into undergraduate admissions, but if you were thinking about going to the same school for both undergrad and law school, Princeton doesn't fit the bill.)

Princeton offers the best undergraduate education out of those schools by far, but Yale has the best English department. (Oxford is second there.)
You probably don't want to go to the same place for undergrad and grad/law school, so don't be frightened by Princeton's lack of a law school.
If I had to choose between those schools, I'd pick Princeton, but if I were going to do an English major, I'd pick Yale.
(I applied for undergrad under the Early Decision program at my first choice school, so I didn't get to choose between places where I was admitted. That means I never sent in my Princeton application, but I had it filled out and ready to send.)

You can't get "excepted" at Yale, Princeton, Harvard or Oxford.

A person who doesn't know the difference between excepted and accepted, and who doesn't know grammar or punctuation, is hardly likely to be accepted at any of these famous schools.
Let a dose of reality into your life, OK?

I have no level of expertise with those schools...but I strongly recommend The Ohio State University.
