A-O-A,
Dear Diwan,
As you asked about differences between four major bodies. CIMA and ICMAP both are Cost and Management accountancy bodies both have same degree ACMA. CIMA is UK based Institute and ICMAP is Pakistan based Institute.
CA and ACCA is based on Advanced accounting. ACCA is UK based qualification and CA is Pakistani Based.
What qualification is best? you cannot say properly what is best. I personally think it is all about what can you afford. CIMA and ACCA are slightly costly as campared to ICMA and ICAP.
If you can afford you can do CIMA after completing CIMA you will be exempted from all papers of ICMAP. After completing ACCA and CIMA you will be exempted from Module A to D of ICAP.
Here is some resources you can visit and explore Syllabus etc

Best of Luck
