I know Capri is closer, but we are going to Istanbul as well I believe, so that part is not as much of an issue. Any insights are welcome and I know we FT-ers are an insightful lot.
Both are exquisite and have much to offer. However, how much total time have you allocated for the trip? Santorini will take a LOT more time to get to/from than Capri. If all you are contemplating is a weekend, then you might well find Capri the better choice.

Regardless of your decision, start booking a hotel, etc... ASAP. By late April/May both sites are very, very busy.
