Most people consider the accent of schools like Harrow and Eton when they talk about the accents of British English. That accent sounds quite refined and pronunciation remains closer to spelling than American accents (disregarding the final r). Having said that, I must add that students often pick up their accents from teachers, and the teachers have accents. In other words, there might not be much of a choice.

Its a matter of choice, I don't see the need for you to choose an accent. English is English and to my knowledge it is only some spelling and some pronunciation that are the difference. People should still understand you no matter which you choose. I do however agree with Steve even in the UK we all have different dialects but we are all speaking English. After a bit of listening practice your ears adjust.

I get the impression the British generally disparage American accents, while Americans usually think British accents are cool. So you probably can't go wrong with a British accent.

I prefer British! But American is easier to learn. I would say just focus on the language - dont worry about the accent, it will come naturally :)

it's not a big deal for me to learn varieties of English either British or American as long as it's still mutually intelligible. I agree with @Mike I come from a non-English country where most teachers are not English speakers, they did not teach us American nor British accent, thus I still speak English with Indonesian accent which sounds quite awkward.
