Brown, Heinrich and Warren are all bad choices because a Republican Governor would appoint their successor. We cannot afford to be giving U.S. Senate seats away, especially with the Supreme Court at stake. I don't know how much weight Clinton puts on this but given her pragmatic nature I would guess it is considerable. I say this as someone who likes all three senators just on their own merits.
To grossly simplify, Tim Kaine vs. Julian Castro boils down to a question of play it safe vs. take a chance. If Clinton feels good about her electoral position then Kaine is the "safe" choice. If she feels the need for a game changer then Castro is the best option.
Clinton has shown herself to be a cautious politician, so if it is not clear whether or not she needs a game changer, I think she will select the safe option, Kaine.
