Cambridge VS Edexcel vs ICS Science IGCSE

Hi!
I have decided I would like to do the Double award Science IGCSE this year, because I wish to improve my employability. As a working full time, mature student for whom English is not a mother tongue, and because I do not live in any big city, I can only take IGCSE courses. I was wondering if Cambridge Science Combined (0653) is much easier than Co-ordinated (Double award 0654) or its Edexcel equivalent. Also- what are those double awards? How do they differ from a single one (e.g. is one of the grades for biology only, the another one is combined for chemistry and physics?). I've performed well in my previous GSCEs (not international ones; English and Maths are the only one offered in my city), therefore I'm looking forward the higher tier.

Thanks in advance,
Simon
