British Pronunciation vs American Prononciation

I hate hearing strong regional accents on english language students because i do think it is harder for others to understand.

This prompts the question: which accents count as strong ones? A remarked RP accent, for instance, is a strong accent. Yet many people find it worth imitating. I also think it depends on where you intend to use your skills which accent you should learn. For instance, if you live in Scotland, a Scottish or near-Scottish accent would do.

I like both of them but I'd like to be more specific:

American: It isn't as nice as British accent but I think is clearer than British accent (at least for spanish native speakers,like me) as It has a stronger pronunciation of the R,a very common letter in Spanish language.The only american accent that I don't like is the one from deep america? I mean Alabama etc...

British:Of course I think the best british accent is the one from the famous triangle London-Oxford-Cambridge,although,obviously, not everyone living in that area has a good british accent.Like Nona said It depends on the background and education of each person.In the other hand,we find Midlands,Northern (england) and Scottish accent.The one spoken in Midlands is not bad (except Brummie accent from Birmigham,It's funny,though).Some accents from Northern england(Geordie,liverpool,Yorkshire) as well as Scottish are a bit difficult to understand,specially if you're not accustomed to them.

We shouldn't forget other accents like Australian,South-African,Irish,specially Irish accent as I think It's rather clear.

Cheers.
