They are both very safe. But Dubai is a massive building site on a beach and full of foreign visitors. It depends what you want to go there for. I was not in UAE for very long and didn't have much chance to explore, but Abu Dhabi was far more interesting. We did a concert in the opulent Emirates Palace Hotel with its acres of gold leaf, but the best experience was ducking into a simple local cafe near the downtown hotel for a quick lunch - a few samosas and cold chick pea stew and salad (6 Reals = about £0.40). Lovely friendly polite people.
