can anyone tell me which prozine, or any other publication has the best
reviews for hard sf?

Try "Locus." I've been a subscriber for 11 years.

 It is a bit of an odd question because publications will review the
whole of SF, not just one subgenre. So even in a magazine with a good
reviews section you might not get any hard SF reviews in a particular
issue.

 Analog is the magazine with the reputation for concentrating on hard
SF. However it also has the reputation of being the worst of the big
three.

by the big three you mean analog, fantasy & sf, and asimov's?  i was
thinking locus, sf review, sf chronicle, etc.  i think they are
considered  prozines?  there are also references such as the ny times
book review, but i don't know how well they cover genre fiction.

my local library is heavy on purchasing fantasy series.  i contacted
the person in charge of ordering books and was told they have standing
orders with publishers.  she suggested i research and make suggestion
for hard sf purchases.
