Since I've done my articleship partly from Ey, i.e. Internal audit and had a number of friends in Stat audit, I'd say go for Ernst & Young.
EY has a larger presence, better clientele, processes and administration is at par with any MNC.
Deloitte and Grant Thornton are small in size compared to EY.
You cant trick the interviewers after passing, into thinking Ey is equal to Deloitte,because they're both Big4, cause everybody knows whose who in this line.
The cons of working for EY is the long hours and the feeling they often give you that if you need a holiday you're kinda 'unprofessional'. But am sure others will do that too.
Anyway, just my tuppence, and a word of advice, dont let the stipend dictate your choice.
