UCSD is a top tier UC.
UCSB is a second tier UC.
at least reputation-wise.
(especially for science majors)

That being said, they are both top tier schools in the country.
I had to make the same decision, and I chose what was best for my future plans. (UCSD offers a better hands on program for my major)
If it is the similar issue with you then definitely choose UCSB.
UCSB is a very good school , and you will be having an excellent education anyways.

In terms of social scene,
UCSB is more like a campus party school , and obviously they are good at it.
UCSD on the other hand is more like a “let’s go down to city and get drunk” kinda school lol. Although you will find parties especially if you live in the village.
