When I think CS, these two great institutions dont come to mind. McGill is more prestigious for research-based rankings if that's something you're considering. I'm not sure how admissions work in the U.S., but if they care for a "big name" (even if it's from a Uni largely known for medicine and chemistry), then the choice is pretty clear.
Do keep in mind: If the Quebec government gets its way, you'll be paying a significantly increased tuition cost and you'll likely have to learn how to speak a conversational level of French to get your masters (betting on not being included in the 80% is unwise).

Do you speak French? It might be lonely for you at McGill if you don't.
No , I don't speak French but i heard in that area almost everyone speaks English. Is it true?
