@roony2 One difference is that ED provides a SIGNIFICANT admissions boost at Northwestern - for the past five years at least 50% of the entering class has been admitted in the ED round. For the last two years the ED acceptance rate was 25%+ as opposed to single digits in the RD round. See the figures in this article:

I’m not sure how significant Brown’s ED admissions boost is, but I imagine that information could be found quickly with a Google search if you want to compare.

If your daughter genuinely can’t determine a favorite at this point, it’s best not to apply ED. Also verify the financials before committing to an ED application.

They are both great mid-sized universities! Best of luck!
