Whatever you end up doing, choose a good program, where you can take a good number of independent decisions even as an intern, with minimal clinics and maximal ICU/telemetry and cross-coverage/nightfloat type rotations (at least 6 in total, more would be ideal).
Internship training is fundamental for anesthesiologists. You are not going into a specialty that has nothing to do with your internship. You can fool yourself that it's better to have an easy year, to read ahead for your residency, but easy now means more difficult later.
Unless well-planned, a transitional program might not be challenging enough for a future anesthesiologist.
