The CX cadetship is certainly a great opportunity, however I think you must be 100% certain that it is for you before you go for your interview. It takes a lot of time and commitment to get through the various assessment phases and I'm very certain one of the questions you will be asked is "Why do you want to fly for Cathay and not Qantas?".
As for which path is the better career option? That really just depends on the individual I think. I am sure you've already done lots of homework for your interview but I have a bit of info on my blog which may be useful, feel free to check it out.
Goodluck either way!
