Get the Atlanta but don't get the 5"mk54 guns. There's virtually no ammo space for them. Instead, get 5"mk38 or 3"mk70 guns and AA. That gets you way more credits and expert sailors on your pilots.
Depending on how good your gunners are, the Oakland may be better than the Northampton if you use high-angle shooting with the 5"mk54 guns on the Oakland.
One last thing, now that you're in the CL/CA stage, be prepared to not be able to see where your shells land.
