Are quals part of your decision? I've found that coursework and quals vary widely among schools:
At one school, quals include only two courses on probability theory and statistics (i.e. Casella & Berger).
NCSU includes two courses on probability theory and statistics (i.e. Casella & Berger) plus two courses on statistical methods (mostly linear models, ANOVA, etc). (ST 701, 702, 703, and 705).
Then there's crazy Iowa State University with an exam covering eight courses, including stuff more advanced than Casella & Berger as well as measure theory. (https://stat.iastate.edu/phd-requirements).
I would assume that less coursework and a reasonable qualifying exam means that you can focus on research sooner. Isn't that a plus?
