So what do you guys think should be the most important factor?

As someone that just graduated recently, I feel that a good boss, a supportive environment and a willingness to learn are key.
Since you would just have started working, unless you really need the money, money should not be the key concern. You will always get more chances at a pay raise later on if you continually upgrade yourself.
A good boss and the environment will also help what you learn. Never underestimate what a good mentor can teach you.
All the best in your finals and job hunting
