I can only speak for Baylor but it was one of my favorite programs hands down. Baylor's radiology residency is similar to its other residencies in that it's on the busier side. There's generally a work hard, play hard vibe; it's not for everyone. I can speak volumes for the program's PD who is 100% on the resident's side. Residents have a large amount of autonomy (and responsibility) at the county hospital and are the primary operator for most of the IR. I would say the residents certainly have a stronger IR experience at Ben Taub General Hospital than at MD Anderson across the street where things are more attending run. BCM is opening up a new hospital soon which is meant to replace its big private hospital affiliation with The Methodist Hospital.
I've never felt like fellowship placement was a good indicator of the strength of a residency program. It seems that every radiology residency places their residents in big name fellowships. You should probably do your fellowship in the region that you want to practice in. I don't think either of these programs will give you an advantage towards breaking into a specific region.
