I used "zed" unless there is some other reason (ZZ Top) to use differently.
Bag like Egg not Bog
Roof like Poof not Puff
Creek like Eek not Crick
About like ah-bout not ah-boot.
I was at a training course in the states, and people picked up on the "about" immediately. I can tell Americans by the way they pronounce "creek" and "roof", but I don't hear the distinction they do with "about".
