I'm from the U.S. and I teach English in Spain. That is one of the most common questions I get because I'm the only American teacher at our academy. All of my other workmates are either Spainish or English. Our company has no strict policy as to accents, but I do the best I can and I always tell my students about the differences I know, both in vocabulary and in pronunciation. I'd say if you can't decide for one or the other, learn them both, just try to be constant when you speak and use just one accent (whichever is easier for you). You can't switch back and forth all the time, because if you do, you'll give poeple trying to understand you a really hard time.
