There's a thread on here titled: Best and Worst Counties...that should help some.
Maybe you should look into Mercer County-Princeton and West Windsor have great schools and there are many IT companies in the Princeton area. You can possibly find a smaller new construction home for that price, but anything over 3000 sq ft is 700k and up.
It will be REALLY tough to get any kind of objective answer to this question. I also agree that looking at something countywide is an awfully broad stroke.
With that said, Morris is hands down the best.
