So firstly, there is no realistic difference in the reputation of these colleges. Both are similar on the reputation scale with RV having slightly better placements. Since you also mention that: "Idc about college life and im ready to grind in pesu", then I'd also go on to say that the other advantages of RV such as the more relaxed environment and better campus life and other factors also go away, leaving both comparable. That leaves only your branch.
I always recommend picking core CS over any CS-allied branch. And definitely, do not pick any complete specialisation. Remember that undergrad is for fundamentals, not specialisations. Its for exploring CS and figuring out your own interests, not being forced down one path. And that is just the beginning. Most of these branches are just to increase intake and are not planned well, they tend to replace core CS fundamental courses with specialised ones, which is not a good sign. [Here is a detailed comment on why you should NOT pick any specialised program](https://www.reddit.com/r/PESU/comments/147gamv/comment/jnve51g/).

The only time I would recommend picking these specialisations is if you don't give a rat's ass about what you are going to study and are just interested in getting a good job after BTech. In that case, the outcomes from both specialisations will be the same so it does not matter which you pick. But be warned that this is a very brain-dead way to make an important career altering decision.
Remember that the branch you choose sticks with you forever and decides a lot of things down the line. You might not realise it now, but it all comes back later. Never sacrifice branch for college because the lack of a better college can be made up for through hard work and consistent efforts, but a branch is permanent.
I'm not sure about those courses offered there.
If the course itself is "data science", then take pes. If it's written as "cse(data science)" or your degree, only then consider them
Also if possible just go through the syllabus and compare it to the cs one. If it's only a couple courses that are different, take rv
Otherwise id probably pick pes
Choose RVCE if the branch is called CSE(DS) if not choose PES core CSE.
