I can't speak for other places, but from my time in Korea and Japan, American English tends to be the preferred choice, there is a seriously weird America-love that I can't rationalize.
I tell all my students to expose themselves to both accents so as to be comfortable with both, learn to differentiate some vocab etc, neither of them is correct. They are both equally crazy and strange and broken lol ...
I always tell them if they're learning English it's to understand and communicate with people who speak it, so learn the accents and dialects or you're pigeon-holing yourself.
