It really depends on what you're gonna be doing. In my experience for-profit hospitals have a lot of "bean counters" trying to cut expenses to make a profit, thus a lot of times you have equipment/supplies that are not "complete" and you have to run around finding the other parts to make it work.
Teaching hospitals have their pros & cons. The pro is that the staff & management are geared to teaching. So if you are a new graduate or beginning a job this can be very beneficial to you. Furthermore, teaching hospitals tend to have the "latest & greatest" equipment, which is also benificial. A con is that the nurses, MDs, pharmacy staff . . . pretty much everyone are students and "learning" thus you have to be on your toes & always double check everything before you administer say a drug to a patient. This can be time consuming & leaves you open for liability if you are not careful.
But that is just my opinion.

For every-day stuff you're better off with a private hospital (i.e. heart attack, infection, etc.). If you're having something complicated and big (like a rare form of cancer, etc.) you're better off in a teaching hospital as you will have access to the people who see and study rare stuff.
