McGill probably has the edge for overall prestige.
However, Brandeis is also an excellent school that will deliver a great education.
While Brandeis is moderately close to Boston (one of the best college towns in the world), McGill is smack in the middle of Montreal, and probably offers a much better party/nightlife environment.
However, where Brandeis has the edge is the intimate education it can offer you. Because it is private, and is one of the smallest research universities in the US (more like an LAC), you will get a lot more attention from your profs, and a much smaller student body. The competition is less likely to be cut-throat.

Research how each school’s department ranks. I’m not sure about that.
