If so, would it be best to use a neutral style to get the "most accurate" histogram if shooting raw only? Or does it not matter?

Thank you.

if you shoot raw, it matters not -- just post-process to taste

It does matter

whereas picture style jpgs will have different histograms

No camera can display a RAW histogram.  Even if you are shooting RAW only, the displayed histogram will be affected by the chosen Picture Style as well as the White Balance.
