BRV is the older DVC, so the villas are larger. It is a separate building, but connected to the main lodge. We bought there in 2000 and still own there. CCV is converted hotel rooms, so the room size is smaller. But the cabins look really nice. Much nicer than the bungalows at the Polynesian. BRV only has studios, one bedrooms and two bedrooms. CCV has studios, one bedrooms, two bedrooms, grand villas and cabins. BRV has the separate lobby in the center of the building(and the Carolwood Railroad Room where there are models of Walt Disney's train that he had at home). BRV is a bit closer to the buses, but CCV is a bit closer to the boats. The fitness room (Sturdy Branches) is located in BRV building.

I'm a bit biased as we have owned BR for 14+ years. Both are nice, CCV is a bit less space, but still very comfortable. We have only stayed in a CCV 2 BR so far. Were we have been in BR studio, 1 and 2 BR units. I would put BR ahead as our choice, but it really is up to what you are looking for, space, view, layout... I would give BR an edge on space and layout, but CCV has a big plus on views and the lobby. You really can't go wrong with either.

We have not stayed at CC yet, though that will change in March. On the other hand, we're long time owners at VWL (sorry, won't call it that other name). As the others have said, it's a bit of a toss up. While CC is new and convenient to things in the main Lodge, the rooms at VWL are more spacious and the area is quieter given it's in a separate building thus away from the main lobby, WCC, the Mercantile, et.al. If you want to be closer to the main pool, closer to the boats, and closer to the restaurants, then CC is likely your choice. If you'd rather have a little more peace and quiet, have more space, be closer to the less crowded pool, and feel a bit more like you're at a resort, then VWL is definitely the choice.
