You don’t really get a choice in this unless you’re very picky in terms of your college.

Exam boards don't matter at all. Universities like Oxbridge don't care about which exam board you do. It's a complete non-factor.
yeah, as stated above. universities don't care which exam board you do.

but for harder "exam" boards, they tend to have lower grade boundaries
for "easier" boards, they tend to have higher grade boundaries, so it doesn't really matter. and besides, everything considered, most exam boards are extremely similar in difficulty and the grade boundaries, with minimal variation.
