I recently got accepted into UCDavis and UCSD. Any thoughts?

UC Davis has a really standout department, with lots of good faculty. Davis, in spite of what people say, is kind of a quaint little town, very bicycle-friendly, etc.
UCSD is in a wonderful location, but it actually doesn't have an English major per se. It has something called the Literature major, with specialties in different areas, including English. Seems like a small difference, but in fact, the faculty devoted to English literature (as opposed to comparative literature, literature of religious studies, etc.) is smaller than Davis's. Also a lot of the faculty is spread out over the different "colleges" at UCSD--such as the Warren College writing program, etc. A very complicated set-up there.
I'd really investigate UCSD's website to see if it does what you want.

The UC Davis English department is rated 14 amongst all colleges and universities in the country. UCSD ranks below this.

They are both great schools -- congratulations.
UCSD is ranked third among the UC schools -- behind Berkeley and UCLA. It is a bit higher than UC-D. Unless you wanted to do something related to agriculture, UCSD is the better choice.
Since they are close in the rankings, you might want to base your choice on something other than academics. UCSD is one of the most beautiful campuses in the world, situatied in La Jolla overlooking the Pacific. Davis is in the middle of nowhere, in the Central Valley -- which can get really hot.

They are both good schools - however I believe that beyond the education should be some nice experience - with that mindset I would recommend UCSD - located in La Jollla with access to some of the best beaches in the world- great cafes and an environment that promotes creativity.

I'd cast a vote for Davis myself on purely academic grounds. You didn't mention UCSB by the way which has a first rate and very interesting program.
