You really wouldn't go wrong at any of these schools. (apologies if I've left out a school that should be here. These are from memory). The rankings are for the graduate program, but the undergrad physics programs are also strong, especially once you're past the intro courses. The other advantage of a school with a strong graduate program is that there are opportunities for undergrads to get into some research.

As to astronomy, I'm less certain. Arizona and Hawaii both have the advantage of nearby telescopes (Keck and Mauna Kea). Others will have to help with that.
