Re: San Antonio versus Austin
Hi,
Definitely Austin!!
I was in Austin for 3 weeks and San Antonio for like 6. Austin is a great environment - liberal and energetic. Lots of opportunities for young professionals. It's a diverse town, probably because many people from all over the country (and world) come to UT, then find work locally. Penty of tech companies around (Dell, IBM, etc).
Not to mention the student body of over 50,000+ UT students, which provides a never-ending supply of college booty for plundering... 
The local music scene is top notch, if you're into that. Plenty of bars, pubs and clubs with lots of live stuff to see. The city is also like 4th safest in the US, or somesuch.
San Antonio is technically bigger, but ... eh, not that great of a city. It's more spread out, so the density doesn't seem any different, and stuff like nightlife, music, etc. just can't hold a candle to Austin. I believe the per capita is fairly low as well (it certainly seemed so), not nearly as safe as Austin, and not much tech industry.
Cheers,
