In general, the Outback looks and feels more like a station wagon, while the Forester looks and feels more like an SUV. The outback is a little longer, hence why we see more cargo and passenger space. You can find further descriptions of the two from Subaru themselves right here. All in all, it comes down to your lifestyle and preferences, and keep in mind that you can build either model to include different features to suit you!
