I would prefer NO accent. Southerns, especially deep Southerns carry stereotypes about not being the brightest of the bunch. I'm not saying he's stupid or anything, just saying a uneducated viewer is already going to attach a certain stereotype to him.

I've spent my entire life in the south but have been to different countries/parts of the US, people with Southern Accents catch a certain prejudice.
