Conflicted! Help

Hi there,
I recently applied to two schools in Australia, and received an offer to both (MGSM in Sydney and Monash in Melbourne). I should be extremely happy, however I am conflicted. At this point, I have yet to write the GMAT, so I am looking for some advise from the people. Here are some highlights for each uni, through my research.
1. MGSM has been accredited by AACSB and is in the top 100 by the Economist. In addition, it ranks in the top 5 for salary increase post graduation. Furthermore, most graduates receive job offers within 3 months of graduation.
2. Monash has the triple crown (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA), and is known globally. It is in Melbourne, however believe in terms of job prospects, would be in MBS's shadows.
Questions for the people are:
1. Are these reputable universitie (i.e. what is the word of mouth in Australia? - I am from Canada).
2. I want to get into consulting, any success stories out there of obtaining consulting roles in a prestigous firm after graduation from either of these universites?
3. General thoughts on the situation (really, anything constructive helps).
Thank you,
Rob
