If we married file jointly, then do I need to file as an Arizona Resident or California Resident.

Each state has a particular procedure. California requires you to file a nonresident return as married filing joint. The Arizona income is excluded from the California return this way. Arizona, meanwhile, wants you to file a part-year resident return, also married filing jointly. The idea is still the same: you will be taxed on all of his income in Arizona, and you will be taxed on the income you made while an Arizona resident.
