Not sure why research is being trotted out as a negative. My ability to do research as an undergrad alongside phd students and post-docs was the highlight of my academic experience and got me my first job.

But frankly, there's no reason a great professor can't do both so you may as well go somewhere with the resources to conduct interesting research.
