I am in California. So I may have prejudices.
In my opinion, if you want to build a career in the US, you should do your PhD in the US, unless your advisor overseas is an academic superstar or a Nobel Prize winner.
I am assuming that you are British or Indian since M Res is not a typical US degree. M Res is a very British term. I do not know about the situation in the UK. But in many other areas in the world, for example, Asia, a US PhD degree is worth a lot more than an indegenous PhD degree because US is far ahead in basic science research than most Asian countries.
