raw spread for major pairs; maybe look at fixed for some minor pairs..was paying over 50 pips spread on gbp/nzd live account on good broker .tickmill early this year when market was moving.raw speads can be wide on majors too ;but not often and mostly below 10 pips.

I think a lot depends on your strategy and experience, because universal rules are not the best option in the market.
To determine what suits you, it is worth trying different directions and approaches, with small amounts of money, naturally, so that it is safe in all circumstances.

Raw spread and standard accounts are quite similar but one factor that you can distinguish them is Standard a/cs have no commission fee whereas raw spread accounts have moderate fees.

With raw spreads, you have the best conditions the overall market has to offer.
With standard account, you have the best conditions your broker has to offer - this usually means less variation in the spread. You have to pay extra for this safety, though.

I'd choose raw spreads.

yes, I am looking at icmarkets at $3.50 a lot. Do you think brokers would take less $ per lot?

I personally like raw spreads, to me it seems the lowest. Most of the time it's zero pips. Standard account has fixed spreads . And it varies broker to broker. It's about what you personally feel comfortable. If you like raw spreads go for it or vice versa.
