Fedex vs ups rates and distance | Shipping

So I've done a bit of research, I also look at pirate ship. This is more for general advice and experience from others. I live on the west coast and have been using UPS ground but then I realized shipping to Zone 4-8 is a lot of times up to 10% cheaper via FedEx (according to ebay calculator) Yet the more immediate zones are more expensive. If I offer both shipping options, will the buyer see the lowest possible rate? Also, would it behoove me to open up a shippo account rather than pirate ship to see possible additional discounts for fedex? I really just don't know what to offer. I don't know if the zone 4-8 difference for fedex would even matter considering I'm shipping pretty common items and wouldn't be able to compete with someone shipping locally on the east coast. keep UPS cause they ship cheaper locally? And all of that's even moot if ebay will show the cheapest rate to buyers if you select multiple options. Thanks in advance.
