How about exposing modules' id tables through sysfs and allowing a way
for entries to be marked valid or invalid? Then a userspace utility
program could easily set things up so that normal USB storage devices are
accepted by usb-storage and not ub, or the other way around.
The part that Pete tackled, arranging the preferences when the modules
_aren't_ loaded, is actually the harder part.
