State University and No Debt or Out of State?

I live in South Carolina. I can easily be accepted to University of South Carolina (most likely Honors College) and Clemson University (Also Honors College). I also have a rather good shot at UNC Chapel Hill, University of VA, Boston College, and several other similar level schools. I also have a decent chance at Brown and Cornell Universities.

My question is: Should I attend an in-state public school and (with instate tuition and instate-only scholarships) have almost no debt, or should I go to one of the other aforementioned schools and have any from minor to substantial debt? How can I determine which is the best return on investment? I'm going to work very hard no matter which school I attend.

Thanks very much.

    Personally, I'd vote for no debt. But why not apply for all the grants and scholarships you can get from any source without loans, add them to the cash you have available, and see what that does for your options.
