Isopods are more elongated and are slightly larger than copepods. Copepods are smaller and are more bulbish you could say.

besides the size is there an advantage to have one or the other your tank? The reason I'm asking is I was thinking to add one or the other to my tank in a month or so. I have clowns, cardinals, tangs, a royal gramma, a chromis and midas blenny in a 120g long. Would they prefer one over the other to eat?
I just don't want to be over ran by either one of them. Referring to Isopods or Copepods.

Not that I know of. Within a couple of months the balance of pods will reach well, a balance. They might prefer copepods because of the smaller size. Of Isopods may be easier to see.
