What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

American English is literally cooler, but British English can sound anywhere from more refined to more lazy (which is how I'd prefer to speak).

I chose American English just cause it sounds more street talky so if you're trying to talk slang, definately American.

After watching Arrested Development, I'm convinced that having a British accent made you seem smart. It's kind of cool, but I'll go for American since I like it better and am more used to it.
