It would hep if you mentioned the field. That makes a big difference as these two universities are known for different things. Even so, it depends on where you want to pursue a career in academia; VT is probably better known in the US than NUS. However, the most important thing in a Ph.D. is your thesis advisor. If they are equally well-known, then it does not much matter what the nominal “ranking” of the university as a whole might be.
