For what? What are you looking for?
All three have major pros and major cons.

I am very familiar with Orlando and Raleigh. I lived in Orlando for a while and Raleigh my family lives in now.
Austin I have family in and visited a few times.

In my opinion,
1. Raleigh
2. Austin
3. Orlando

But its also dependent on you.
What do you do for work?
You into nightlife?
Budget? Do you like walkability?
What do you literally do for fun outside?
Got a family?

See, and my opinion would be:

1. Austin
2. Orlando
3. Raleigh

Really need a bit more information.

Nightlife: Orlando is top in my opinion. Multiple great options, from the tourist area including I-Drive, Disney Springs, City Walk, to local hot spots such as Downtown, Winter Park, Baldwin Park, etc.
Walkability: All three are kind of sprawly, but Austin has overall a more cohesive layout and development, and Orlando within its [larger than given credit for here] core is also surprisingly walkable. Raleigh not so much.
Outside: Agreed... What do you like in terms of outdoors? Three different vibes.

Etc.

Raleigh area has more walkable areas, and a more cohesive-vibrant core than Orlando IMHO (Although Raleigh got a lot better since 2019.. where I wasnt crazy about it. But the infill and vibrancy increased dramatically since then. Thank God).

But I think in general, Raleigh is more walkable than Orlando.

The reasons I throw Raleigh above Orlando are:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7845...7i16384!8i8192 It looks cooler in person, but Glenwood South Bar Street
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7769...7i16384!8i8192 Downtown looks bigger
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7785...7i16384!8i8192 Downtown is shaping up nicely
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9057...7i16384!8i8192 Even the sprawl things are cool.
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7782...7i16384!8i8192 Bars and stuff

And just outside Raleigh propperhttps://www.google.com/maps/@35.7873801,-78.780296,3a,75y,226.98h,96.7t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sU-_NZduNx2idBQ5oJPyqiA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 The lil downtowns are cool
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9121...7i16384!8i8192 Chapel Hill density
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9925...7i16384!8i8192 Durham 1
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9957...7i13312!8i6656 Durham 2

You make Orlando sound so cool, but why Austin above it?
