IMO, if the parents are OK with paying the EFC for Duke, 20K is an acceptable amount of student indebtedness. Said student could also get a part time and/or summer job to cut those loans in half.

Grad schools do take institutional prestige into account in their admissions and funding decisions. On balance, I’d go with Duke.

If the debt load were substantially higher, my answer would be different.
