Definitely plan a visit. While both are great schools, it’s where you, as an individual, fit best. Putting academics aside, visit and see for yourself where you think you’ll be most comfortable at. I did both college tours. Yes, Davis’ campus is huge, however, the atmosphere is awesome - seems like a more mature atmosphere with the College town feeling that most colleges today are lacking. The city of Davis, while small, is very quaint. For a bigger city feel, Sacramento is 20 minutes away. Bus shuttle between UC Davis and Sacramento airport is free - so traveling from Sacramento Airport to Orange County shouldn’t be an issue (try Southwest). Between flying from Sacramento and driving from Santa Barbara - the commute time might be the same.

Good luck making a decision!
