I have met some of the residents at UCSD, and as a resident I had a rotation there - so I can tell you a little.
The residents work hard and are happy - they are a great bunch of guys. They have more autonomy then any other residency program I am aware of (both my sister and brother are currently residents at programs - so I have that perspective, I have rotated and been at several hospitals with residency programs - so I have that perspective as well.) This autonomy has good and bad - as you can imagine. Most of the staff there are really a bunch of great guys.
You also have some big names in anesthesia - Drummond, Benumof, and others (I bet you have used the Mazzie head rest - invented by a guy over there.) Dr. Ed Mariono is the regional guy and he is phenomenal. Those residents have a great thing to be able to work with him. He was my staff 2 or 3 times when I rotated.
Our department has had several staff from UCSF - from what they say, it is a huge program.
In the end, it probably doesn't matter that much where you go, just work hard, read a lot, and don't get fat! - that's my two cents.

For reals though, I wrote some of what I thought of the Cali programs in the interview review thread from this past year-

Keep in mind this is from an applicant's perspective, and residents at the programs will have a ton more information.
