One of our residents is going to UCSD. It's a very well respected program. It'll prepare you well for anything that you want to do.
Texas Back does a lot of new techniques that might not be practical outside of a center like that. I did not apply to Texas Back because I wanted a fellowship that did a little bit of everything. I didn't apply to UCSD because I didn't want to live in San Diego, but if the program was elsewhere I'm sure I would have applied.
There are a lot of great fellowships out there. Just decide what you want out of a fellowship and find one that matches your wants.
