Best options for a “check the box” online MBA?

Currently working in Corporate Banking at VP level. Went to an ultra non-target (bumfuck state university) and networked to get into CB. While I don’t need an MBA, I would like to get one to check the box for certain exit opps that list “MBA preferred” and to get a better school on my resume. Would any of these options make sense?
 

Net cost out of pocket:

Illinois - $12K 

UFlorida - $49K

IU Kelley - $67K

Johns Hopkins - $75K (could possibly do this one as a hybrid of in person and online)

Not considering UNC, USC, or Tepper because the cost is ridiculous.

My total comp if it matters - $300K.
