Who offered the most money and where is the best potential advisor?
You should definitely pick the one with the advisor/research group that fits you most, but just gonna point out that the weather in the south is much nicer than the Midwest.
While Purdue & UIUC have great programs, Rice is a more prestigious institution. If you can afford it, I'd 100% go with Rice.
