I'm wondering if it's better for SEO to have subdomains or folder categories, like this:
sanfrancisco.myblog.com/2009/04/02/title-of-post
http://www.myblog.com/sanfrancisco/2009/04/02/title-of-post
Or, would it be better to remove the category altogether and have all posts under the root level: http://www.myblog.com/2009/04/02/title-of-post
What's best practice and what's best for SEO?
/category/title/
And good content.

Also, good aggregation of sub-blogs onto the main blog is key to getting the googlebot to crawl the sub-blogs, regardless of subdomain or subdirectory installs.
Subdirectory mode should add to your overall domain's pagerank but at an individual page pagerank level, the two URL approaches should be about even.

Andrea, is there any reason why you'd go with /category/title/ rather than just /title/ ?
For possible category/post title conflicts.

If an article is always in a /year/month/day/title format, would that fully mitigate the issue?
Yes, but it wouldn't be "better" SEO. :)
You can do just /postname/. I'm only mentioning possibly category name conflicts so you know ahead of time.
