If the box that needed to be checked was something technical, and since I'm a tech guy, I would go with Capella, since they are known in the industry, whereas Walden is not. If it were non-technical and more aligned with "just-for-fun" or something, I suppose, since I tried Capella a while ago and didn't stick around after one term, I'd go with Walden, hoping for a better experience.
Was there any particular issue with Capella? Were you in course-based or FlexPath?
I have an interesting history with Capella that started back in 2008 (I won't bore with details). But it wasn't until 2021 that I actually took courses (Ph.D. in IT, not flex-path). To be fully transparent, there wasn't anything terrible about them, but I wasn't impressed with the course structure, the lack of instruction (nearly total lack), and the importance placed on discussion posts. So I completed the courses I didn't continue. Not long after, I learned about this site and decided to try the CBE approach at WGU.
I'm not knocking Capella here, but it just wasn't for me. I know a few individuals who attended Capella and have great feedback. A former commander of mine from the Air Force completed his Doctor of IT at Capella and provided me with great advice and a recommendation for my application to the D.Sc. in IT program at Middle Georgia State University.
