Best site/tables to use to compare Universities

Anybody know which is the best?

I want to compare the following Uni's and I'm studying Computing.

Manchester Met
Salford
Staffordshire
Chester
Gloucestershire
Worcester
Sheffield Hallam
Liverpool John Moores
Derby

So yeah, quite a few!

I've looked on the Times and the Guardian but it varies on different sites. So I was wondering which would be the most reliable source.

Cheers

What kind of Computing? What are your career aspirations? WHere do you want to be in 5 years?

Not 100% on the exact course yet. It between Internet Computing, Forensic Computing and an overall Computing couse.

And your career aspirations? Who do you want to work for, SME, multi-national? Do you want to be in a management position, technical?

Also depends on how you define best uni.

Im not sure any of them are overly well known for their engineering/technology departments.

I'm going to prefer more of a technical position and would lean more towards a SME.

I'm interested in Forensic Computing but I don't want to narrow my options down too much as I also have an interest in Internet Computing (Web Management etc).
