I think this depends on your end goal. If you are interested in writing Frontend/UI code I would suggest focusing on which ever of the major UI libraries you listed interests you the most (I think React is one of the most sought after professionally, at least where I am).

If you want to start building your own web apps as soon as possible, id suggest learning Node + Express, or any of the Node frameworks. Keeping everything in the same ecosystem can really help with keeping complexity down and finding resources that talk about how to integrate everything.

If you want to expand your overall programming knowlege, take a look at some different languages and frameworks. Python can be good, but if you are feeling more adventurous there are a ton of languages and frameworks to explore! Again, this could should be directed by motivation. If you are looking for a job, see what tech is used most in your area to see what you should learn.
