I’ve taken both of them (both 800s), and my impression was that Physics was a lot easier. It requires very little specific knowledge and more problem-solving and math skills. Chemistry, on the other hand, seems to require a lot more little minutiae, but if you know the stuff, it doesn’t take much thinking. Also, the curve on Physics is much nicer than Chem, so you can afford to miss a lot more.

I would recommend finding a copy of “Real SAT IIs” at a library, taking both tests, and seeing which one you score higher on.
