As you are in the States I think you would broaden your mind and open your eyes to the unexpected and truly amazing if you went to Spain.
Come to Europe, it will change your world-view and give you a sophistication you would otherwise never experience.
Get real!! 
The only real factor I can think of is who do you think you'll be talking the most when you come back? Mexicans, Spaniards or Argentinians? The reason I say that is because the informal Spanish and slang you'll learn from each of those countries will be dramatically different from each other.
But that's not really a big deal either, as long as you learn proper Spanish as well.
So aside from cost and living expenses, there is no significant benefit of one over the other. Don't over think it, go to the country that intrigues you the most, have fun, soak in the culture and learn a lot of Spanish.
It depends on why you are learning Spanish.
If you want to be a business person in South America, go to Argentina, although their Spanish is very different from Mexican Spanish. You will learn the 'vos' form which is used in several South American countries.
If you are going to be a Spanish teacher or live in Spain, go for Spain as you will learn all the verbs forms including vosotros. And it is the birthplace of Spanish!
If you are planning to travel or work a lot in Mexico or Central America, go for Mexico, but be careful about going to an area that is heavily indigenous since Spanish is their 2nd language too.
In each place you will gain something by being there, but miss some things from not being somewhere else.
If you choose Spain that will get you close to France - Portugal - Italy etc. and North Africa.
Decisions * d a m n * decisions.
ME? I would choose Cuba - see it before it loses its uniqueness.
I lived in Bolivia for years.
I particularly like all three.
Which one do you like?
Gracias a todos!! Voy a Mexico
