A judgment on your credit report conveys the decision of a court concerning a lawsuit. Amounts owed to the creditor are described in the judgment. A lien on a credit report expresses the legal right of one party to keep possession of property belonging to another party.

What is the difference between an agreed judgment and default judgment and will both have equal impact on credit ratings?

There's no difference in how the judgment is entered on a credit report. An agreed judgment indicates the debtor(s) appeared in court but did not have a valid defense as to why the debt was not owed, therefore a judgment was entered against him or her. A default judgment indicates the debtor(s) did not appear in court thereby forfeiting the right to defend the suit, resulting in a default judgment being entered in favor of the plaintiff. The execution procedure of either type judgment is also the same.
