joining for a phd in geography..term begins 22 aug

Accepted to UIUC (PhD) with 9 month funding..awaiting other results though !

Hey i have a weird question..dunno if any of you have been through this ever.. its like i wrote to different profs from 2 diff departments in the same univ as a potential phd candidate. I have got strong and positive replies from both departments but from dept A i have a particularly strong response. so much so that the prof thinks that am an "excellent fit". The profs from other department (dpt have mentioned that I am an excellent candidate and also that they don not make decisions about advisors so soon and have given me a green signal but not in terms of "excellent fit". My dilemma here is a) to which dept shud i apply ? so that my chances of securing admission are the greatest and is it advisable to ask profs which dept shud i apply to or does it sound totally foolish ? Thanks for the advice
