Duke is undoubtly the top school there. Went to Duke UGrad and although I went the MBB route I can say that Duke's IB and PE placement for the PE firms that recruit out of UGrad is very strong. Duke also has strong placement into some top AM and HF firms (DE Shaw, Bridgewater, Citadel, Blackrock, Fidelity), primarily due to some student organizations being pipelines for those programs. Duke placement is also geographically the most diverse out of all of the schools you listed.
Rice's placement is very Houston-centric, as you'd expect, so unless you're very interested in energy or interested in engineering then I'd count them out. However, I have seen extremely strong Rice placement into Energy IB and PE if that's what you want.
Davidson is probably the most Southern-centric bank on the list. They place well into Southern IB, but I don't think they place that well into HF or AM.
Vanderbilt's placement into IB is good, AM and HF less so, but I think that's primarily because of self-selection (Vandy has nowhere close to Duke's finance recruiting culture).
I wanna do stuff with stocks/options.
