It depends on the colleges that you are targeting. Both the exams have almost the same syllabus and relatively similar difficulty level.

Some good colleges accepting MAT score are TA Pai Management Institute, Manipal, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Xavier Institute of Management and Entrepreneurship, Bangalore, National Institute of Technology, Warangal, Christ College, Alliance Business Academy, New Delhi Institute of Management

Some top colleges through CMAT are KJ Somaiya Institute Management and research, Xavier Institute of Social ServiceRanchi, Goa Institute of Management
Kirloskar Institute of Advanced Management Studies harihar, BIM TECHNOLOGY Greater NOIDA etc.

You should give both the exams to maximise your chances of selection into a good institute.
