McGill, how "good" is it compared to U.S. colleges?

I understand it is a very subjective question. Yet, I found some difficulty in comparing McGill with other “well-known” U.S. colleges.

I am an international student, living in the U.S. for five years. I got into Bryn Mawr, Brandeis, Syracuse, University of Toronto and McGill. Is McGill the most highly regarded among this list? (I am going for humanities by the way.)
Also, I am still waiting to hear from Swarthmore. If I get in to this school, would McGill still be “my top choice” in terms of its reputation?

Lastly, where does McGill stand in the “U.S. college rank” in general? In other words, how well is it regarded by Americans?
