Classical music is a lot more respected in Europe and the funding is therefore a lot better.
Go for Europe.

Germany is one of the best countries and they speak very good English usually.
Not as good English as in the Netherlands and Scandinavia perhaos but Germany is a better country for classical music.
France is propably best if you are into Avantgarde and serial music.

Americans of course, Europeans, Russians, Asians etc. You had a chance to see differences between the different teaching techniques from attending their masterclasses and going to their students recitals. As far as I know there are not many American professors teaching in Europe. I do not regret going to the states for my studies. It was great...
