one is just the from the rear axle to the exhaust tips and the other is from the y-pipe with the cat to the tips

depends if the catback is properly designed, because on our car, if you lose too much back pressure you lose a ton of low end. so normally i'd say catback, but for our car i'd say it isn't worth the extra money. just get an axel back. I don't remember if it was borla or tanabe, but they didn't make a catback because it didn't make more power than an axle back.

Nice Reply Mehdi, exactly why Borla hasn't done a mass production for the cat-back ( I know someone on here has/had the prototype), not enough high rpm HP gains, for the low rpm TQ losses...usually a cat back system will help significantly from a stock but not the case here.
