I've heard really poor things about UQ's IT department though. I've heard that if you're doing IT related things, the reputation of the universities is backwards: Griffith is best, followed by QUT, and UQ is rather poor.

QANTM and QUT are the 2 top In my opinion. I did programming at QANTM in 06-07 and it was fantastic as most of what I learnt was practical useful information and all the work we did was actually creating software rather than just studying theory / algorithms. Also got job offers at Halfbrick, Krome and Firemint upon graduating.

Honestly I haven't met (or even heard of) any good coders from Griffith and UQ is as said good for most disciplines but not sure about IT.

That seems to be true. Unluckily enough, or at least a mistake on my behalf, I was at Griffith last year and had the choice out of all three uni's for engineering and went with UQ because of their record, amongst other things. Oh well.
