No, my experience is that 101 north is the more likely to be severely impacted by traffic, at least as far as Santa Barbara. But "more likely" is still not all that often.
But if you don't care about anything other than getting their as soon as possible then I'd probably take the 5 to 152 route.
And if you're a Pea Soup person (which I don't understand, the soup is ok but everything else they serve is horrible) you can still that since there is one in Santa Nella (a couple miles beyond the 152 interchange).
