They are both pretty much the same, just a different way to say you are super wet. For certain sentences one may sound better than the other and that is the only distinction between them. You can use whichever one you think sounds better.
Example:
"The boy was soaked after playing in the rain."
"Her clothes were drenched after forgetting to bring her umbrella on a rainy day."
