The only problem with cod liver oil vs. Fish oil is that the cod liver oil contains a lot of Vitamin A and D, so you have to take that into account. Depending on how much vitamin A and D you already ingest, and depending on the amount of the oil you take, this could be a potential problem, if you take too much of these vitamins. Fish oil (not from livers) usually doesn't contain the vitamins. BTW, I think that the practice of giving kids cod liver oil was probably about giving them enough Vitamins A and D, before these were regularly added to milk.
