I haven't gone through other programs, so I can't say from personal experience.
There are no programs that have stood out to me during hiring to predict the quality of the candidate.
If you're a student looking at programs, I would prioritize the amount and quality of individual attention you stand to receive. A self-directed student can do well anywhere (including on their own). If you're not so stubborn/resilient, having a good community and mentorship to help you overcome difficult times is key.
