All are good universities but I would look at a few factors:

1. Cost of living. What can you afford? Living in London is going to be very different to living in Liverpool.
2. What sort of life do you want? Links in a lot with the above initially because of disposable income but also looking at what is around you.
3. What do you want to do after university? While it is good to look at course rankings if you are going into a job where it isn't specialist i.e. law, science etc. a the courses can vary, then you are better looking at a universities overall ranking because that is what most people will recognise. As an example, I have heard of Stanford, Harvard etc. so if you are going to be looking at working internationally then probably Edinburgh and London are the best bets. UK wise I think they are all good.
4. Which course would interest you most? You will get a higher grade in a course you enjoy studying and will have a better all round life.
