The pronunciation of /t/ in British and American English

I am a non-native learner of English. This is the "yod-dropping" issue, when it comes to pronouncing words with letter ''T'', is it ok to pronounce some words British style and others American? Like:

I wanted(''wah-ned'', American) a better(''be-tza'', British) solution.

It is a little bit mixed up now because some videos I watch are made by Americans, whereas others are by Britons. As a learner, its confusing.
