Dear ad2478
Historically speaking, ICAEW is used to require specific audit and tax experience. These days, as far as I know, it accepts general accounting experience also (though through ATOs, which can be any business firm with resources, and not only audit firms). ACCA accepts general accounting experience.
These days curriculum (body of knowledge) of almost all accounting associations is quite similar. However, there is some emphasis on typical areas and some difference in other requirements.
All 3 qualifications you mentioned are good. Pick anyone which suits you and start working toward that.
Please contact directly to relevant association for exemption policy.
Regards
