Do your research ..... don't ask others to spoon feed you. This is what we look for during interviews.
You can do it. Work for it - no short cuts.

current resident

^ agree with Russia.
you should know what youre looking for or what you want to pursue..based off that do your own research .. google is your friend not your enemy.

Im not a current resident but, i think this is a subjective matter. Everyone has different perspective of what environment he wants to be with during the next few years of life.
What makes sense to me and can tolerable or excellent..etc might not work for you.
So, i think Russia said the same thing i did but in another way.
Good luck!

This is not asking to be spoonfed.
I bet you guys asked similar questions in the build up to your applications.
A little guidance wont hurt.

Shigatox22,
I'm not sure if Im the right person to answer your question but, will tell you whatIm really looking for:
My passion is psychiatry! Now I have the following points: im an old graduate, and had one attempt in cs.
So by deafult I will filter many programs to suit my case.
Then once I get interview(s) I will make sure to not leave any stone in this program unturned.
If I have more than one program to choose I will look at the clinical research chances and the fellowship also.
I dont really care about the call schedule or rotation as I know ultimatly I will be trained well !
I learnt to tailor my application and my state of mind according to what I have. I got almost the same feedback from several residents who went through the same process in the past.
Academic setup versus community setup may be related to your interest in the academic and research track that may be offered other wise I dont think it really matter as far as they are accreditted as residency programs.
Hope this will help you little bit.
Best.
