DC and Khabib are two of the best wrestlers there are in MMA; you can maybe count Cain and Luke together too, as they all train together at AKA.
When it comes to taking other fighters though, and raising their wrestling ability, i'd say ATT has a better track record. Guys who come out of that shop always look well prepared in terms of takedowns and takedown defense especially.
It's just the old question of, how much does having 1 or 2 superstars reflect the ability of the camp, to how much it reflects the ability of those guys specifically.

They have the same amount of knowledge.
Mocco is probably a better coach for advanced athletes and could run a D1 program easily
DC is a fantastic kids coach and younger athletes really look up to him.
Both guys are awesome coaches.

Probably Romero. I spent two summers wrestling with Alexis Villa and Jesus Wilson two times a day and really liked how they train.

I've seen videos of Mocco doing clinics on youtube and he seems like a very good teacher

I'm not sure Mocco and the Cuban guys cross paths much. Whereas AKA is one facility that everyone trains at. As far as I know Jamil Kelly is a big part of the AKA wrestling program too. You also have to consider that Romero and all those Cubans don't speak much English. And who knows how much face time ud get w them anyway.

Brown was one of the best HS wrestlers in Maine during his time. In not sure what he did after high school.
