If your question had an answer, we would need only one of the two. They are targeted to different audiences. One is shallow, cursory, and requires little or no background. The other is academically rigorous. It demands some intelligence from its readers. Some foundation in science is helpful, but it can be in any field of science. Milk is better for a baby; steak is better for an adult. My bias didn't show, did it? I subscribe to one of the two.

I'd go with Popular Science. It's articles are less theoretical than SA, and so they are easier to read. They also focus more on how science is applied in our everyday lives. The graphics are usually better too.
In short, SA is for teachers, and PS is for students.
