Best State to Practice Podiatry???

Those questions are impossible to answer.

..."highest salary" pods usually own their own practice and run it well. You can do that anywhere.
..."most benefits" again, depends on the hospital contract, not the state.
..."most number of patients" depends on the area. As a hypothetical, i
n Seattle, the Northwest program is there and it'd probably be very hard to compete with them since they are all generally quite good. However, if you drove 150 miles away, maybe the busiest DPM just retired and there's only a few pods who are grossly overbooked and having to turn away new patients. Hard to say.

Your thoughts make sense, but the questions are way too general to answer. Join your school's chapter of AAPPM and try to learn more.

If you're talking about highest salary, benefits, etc as a hired associate, then Cali Kaisers and other big health systems tend to pay pretty well and offer good benefits, but you need good residency training to be a competitive app for those spots. That won't just fall into your lap.
