How to Choose a Doctoral Program in Theology?

I have long considered a ThD (from the time I started my MDiv) and already have a research interest (in Pastoral Ministry) in mind. I was going to go to my denomination's seminary and pay the cost myself. However, I've just been offered a full scholarship to another school (a non-denominational secular University program). To be honest I wanted the ThD for mainly vanity reasons (I don't intend on a research or teaching career) and getting one from my denomination's seminary may give me a tad more prestige at church councils etc. But it's a cost I'm not going to recoup as a pastor. How does one choose a Doctoral program in this case? To make this question more objective, are there articles / books offering pastoral career guidance in a Protestant & non-denominational church setting for a ThD / PhD applicant, of **the pros/cons of getting a doctorate in theology from a secular university** (like Harvard or Princeton) vs. **denominational/evangelical seminary** (like Fuller, Asbury, Baylor or WTS)?
