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?

It does not matter.

You can use any Picture Style you’d like, and for any reason you would like. That’s why you can change them!

All that matters is that you know HOW that particular Picture Style impacts the rendering of the histogram, how it impacts the camera’s behavior, and what effects it might have on the final image.

A good discussion could be had regarding all three of the above (because the ramifications are important), as long as it’s not “quashed” by any particular member [ahem].
