re: What major US city (like top 50) would fare best?

People saying San Francisco are forgetting that the op said 50 mile radius. A ton of people live in that area and San Fran only makes up 7 sq miles of it.

Ok, then I am sticking with my answer of San Fran.

#13 city by population and since we going in a 50 mile wide circle, it will be mostly ocean/bay. If you include the population areas to the North and South, they are even more elevated.

Mudslides will happen, however that would be much easier to deal with than mass flooding. The mudslides will not occur in the more heavy populated places as well.
