The biggest difference at the back is that SFO-EWR will get you a free meal, whilst SJC-EWR will not.
Plus of course the two routes can have wildly different pricing. I'm on SFO-EWR next week, because SJC-EWR was around double the price...

I scored R>0 on SJC-EWR a few weeks ago on a Tuesday morning flight about a week out.
