I am trying to determine which of these programs to rank higher. I got a great feeling from both which is what is making it hard.

Surgery: ?Roughly on par (very very good numbers)
Clinical exposure: ?roughly on par (busy county, busy VA, academic center)
Reputation: UCSF > Stanford
Fellowship match: UCSF > Stanford (though not that much of a difference)
Happiness: Stanford > UCSF (but barely)
Location: UCSF > Stanford (but barely)

Sounds like you've made the decision easy for yourself
 
Based on your criteria you give UCSF the edge in most categories. Most would agree with that. Sounds like its settled.
