CSU LB. It’s one of the strongest CSUs. Its reputation is solid.
Woodbury is third or fourth tier and doesn’t have a strong reputation. Due to its very poor financial aid, it’s sometimes considered a school for rich kids with middling grades who couldn’t get into their chosen CSUs.

You can also look at cold data:
CSU LB admission rate: 35%/ Woodbury admission rate: 58%
CSU LB average admitted student’s GPA: 3.5 /at Woodbury: 3.1
% admitted students who had a 3.75+ GPA in high school: 25% at LB, 19% at Woodbury - considering how many students choose to enroll, that’s literally only 40 (forty) students in the freshman class who had a 3.75+ and choose to attend Woodbury, vs. 1,600 (one thousand and six hundred) kids in the freshman class at Long Beach who had a 3.75+ in high school. In terms of critical mass, it’s a massive difference.
