I had the same decision to make and I chose St. Joe's because it's the only hospital with a surgery residency program that AUA is currently affiliated with. (Well Union Memorial too, but they're not allowing AUA students to do the general surgery core with them.) There's also an Ob/Gyn residency program here (North Oakland shut down its program and moved all its residents to St. Joe's). Finally, there's a Family Medicine residency program at North Oakland. I don't really much care for Peds and Psych so I'm doing them at Wyckoff. So, I think that your decision to come to Mich or not depends on how much you care about Surgery/ObGyn.
Michigan is getting booked very fast. So if you do choose Michigan, make sure you schedule Ob/Gyn as soon as possible because the ACGME accreditation expires in July, and though St. Joe's plans to apply for it, I don't know if they will get approved, at least not immediately.

If you have a question, post it at the AUA forum. I can't respond to PMs due to Step 2 coming up very soon.
