1) A CAT is just a professional qualification. It is different from a Diploma in terms of duration and in terms of qualification. A Diploma is an academic qualification and also allows for more exemptions in ACCA because CAT will only get 3 paper exemptions.

2) The Oxford Brookes University degree enables you to have an academic qualification instead of just a professional qualification. This will help you in applying for further education/programmes which require degree qualifications.

It depends on what you want to achieve and in what duration of time.
