I always liked shite better. Maybe because it sounds more like our word for it.
But I get your drift about the accents. There's nothing more enjoyble vulgar as some native really going on a cursing spree.
Both sound greatI think "shite" it sounds particularly good in a Liverpool accent because of how they make "I" sounds like "aaaii"
"Bollocks" is probably my favourite British curse though

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
