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

In what way ?

The answer was right there in the part of my post that you snipped out.

Ok. I was thinking you were saying there is a difference when PP ?

No.  The OP's question revolves around using the in camera histogram to optimize image exposure at the time of capture.

The info is in the raw file but can be changed by PL or Lightroom ?

Of course.

I found the sharpness setting in picture styles can affect focus peaking.

Yes.  Focus peaking is just being run on the video feed going to the LCD/EVF and requires a demosaiced, processed image.

It could affect auto focus too ?

No, not with phase detect AF, as this is done using direct image sensor data and is independent of any demosaicing.
