Oxbridge senior status BA or Oxbridge LLM/BCL?

(I posted this on the Oxford site as well, thanks)
Hi...if anyone could answer the following questions, I'd appreciate it. If you had the option of doing only one of the either, which looks more prestigious on a resume? Granted you need excellent records for entry into either of the programs, I'm a bit hesistant about my decisions. I feel like I would have a strong shot at Oxbridge senior status BA for next year, given that I have an acceptance from Toronto JD. I'm thinking that I might just forgo the 1 year wait and then apply for my masters.

I'm torn because I really wanted to get my first law degree at a top school in the world, given the emphasis that employers give...for example, a Harvard JD is more prestigious than a Harvard LLM if you're only getting your LLM after a less prestigious JD.

So if anyone could shed some light on this issue, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
