Should I apply via UCAS or Common App?

So I’m applying to multiple schools across England and Scotland, many of which I can apply on the Common App. The common app for me is easier since I’ve already done it for American schools and I feel like it shows more about me, like my extracurriculars and awards, whereas the UCAS is less personal. Do universities prefer one over the other? Also, I know I have to pay a lot of individual applications on the Common App, but I haven’t seen anything about paying to apply on UCAS, so will it be the same or different to the prices for the Common App? Do I still have to submit a college essay or personal statement on the Common App? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as it can be quite confusing applying from America!
