Of the choices mentioned, I would definitely choose Oak Creek Canyon.
It's a _beautiful_ drive (as long as it's not raining; 89A can be a real
_bitch_ in the middle of a thunderstorm).

I'd suggest taking swimming gear and such, plus some old denims or cutoffs
for use at Slide Rock.

Sedona (sort of at the tail end of the canyon) is a nice little town,
although a bit too much of a tourist trap for my taste.  It makes a great
place to stop for lunch.
