Which one is closer to General American Accent?

Hi,
it's WAH-dur. I don't think Americans ever pronounce that T as /t/, as far as I know.

Americans from the greater Philadelphia area say "wooder".

If you're trying to get a handle on the American T, then this video is the ticket:

That teacher lays it out pretty clear.

It came to me as a shock when I first found out that Americans use "d" in leu of "t" in certain cases.

I hope you've recovered from your shock!

It is called General American spoken mostly in the midwest from eastern Nebraska to eastern Ohio.
It is what you hear on American News Programs by the news people. Probably midwest or in Ohio, Pennsylvania areas.
I don't know how to exactly define it but it is pretty much neutral.

No, it has nothing to do with slang. Pronouncing those T's ad slight D's is standard and expected in American English. I might go as far as to say that if you don't pronounce them as slight D's you are no
