[warren zee]

Same. Both very well regarded.

[wiivile]

Same. Why?

Oxford might have a bit more name recognition, but most educated people would know they are both excellent.

I think among people who think about such thinks, they are considered pretty much in equal standing.

However, in general, I would say Oxford is more referenced in popular culture so has a marginally better name recognition.
