  1. I agree with kyung. The best way to look at which schools are strong in a particular field is to look at the top conferences for that field and see which schools (and which faculty at those schools) are publishing there. For experimental distributed computing kyung is right, those are SOSP, OSDI and NSDI -- with USENIX ATC being particularly more applied. You might also look at Middleware given you particular stated interests there although its not in the same league as those others. If you're more interested in the formal/theoretical side you should check out PODC. Its also worth then making sure the faculty are still where you think they are (there is a modest amount of movement of faculty between schools from year to year)
  2. The job market doesn't work this way. No one gives you a job on the basis of your school's "name". On the industry side they care what you can do -- ideally as demonstrated with real artifacts you built -- not what school you went to. On the academic side the "brand" of your faculty adviser and other letter writers is important, but that's why the previous comment about research area matters so much. Illinois has strong faculty in some areas, but GA Tech's are stronger in others. Picking a grad school based on name, rank, etc. is a sucker's bet.
