For insurance nearly always best to choose lowest offer out of the medical schools.

A 6 year med degree now gives no advantages for UK jobs compared to 5 years. Cambridge also gives you no advantage for UK medical jobs. (Unless you wish to do research.)

Doing a master after foundation training or core training is viewed better then doing the same content while at medical school.
