Depends on where (geographically) you want to work. If you are thinking of moving across country, a UC school would look a lot better than the local school. If you want to work locally, then the local school will be fine. It may even be more helpful as there will be a larger local alumni network to tap into. Using myself as an example, I went to a small liberal arts school practically nobody outside the mid-atlanic has heard of. Not exactly know for computer science either, in fact I think they only formed the major a about 2 or 3 years before I graduated(which was 2001!). On the other hand it is well thought of locally and I had a job offer well before I graduated. My first supervisor went this school. One of the owners of the company I currently work for went there as well.
