Bubba Kush vs Northern Lights

The Short Answer

Bubba Kush and Northern Lights are both indicas, so this one comes down to the details. Reported effects overlap on relaxed, sleepy, and happy, which is why people cross-shop them. On the nose, Bubba Kush leads with caryophyllene and Northern Lights with myrcene, so they smell and taste like different rooms. Neither is objectively better. Match the pick to the night you are planning, and start low if either is new to you.
