That is more of a case of Department than group being highly ranked.
Department reputation in the field is very important, particularly how they are seen by industry.
> well your research group is organized and how much the people there support you.
Controversial perhaps, but when academics are being dicks, nobody ever calls them out on it, academics close ranks and protect their own. Students come and go, professors are there for life.
If there are issues with ones research group, there is no support. Chose wisely, but it is hard to know in advance what sort of environment there really is and how things will really play out.
