Academically my advice will be to go to Utah.  

Look at specific departments, faculty research and reputation. Its easy to get carried away with grad school ranking that you find in the webs but they do not provide correct measure of your department! Grad school is very different from undergraduate and specific area matters a lot more than university reputation (which is calculated from all availiable departments including performing art and languages). If you find, look at the ranking of specific programs. Here is what I found if it helps.( http://books.nap.edu/html/researchdoc/appendix_p.html )

Good luck!
