I'm in my mid 20s. Should I choose accumulating or distributing ETFs? What are some of these ETFs (I'm not interested in STI ETF)? Which is a good platform to buy them?

To extend on the first question: I understand that it would be good to get accumulating ETFs since my time horizon is long. But wouldn't it be similar if I buy distributing ETFs, receive the dividends, and reinvest less regularly than accumulating ETFs but with a lumpsum so as to reduce fees? I just thought buying distributing ETFs will provide some flexibility in how I wish to use the money.

I would personally pick accummulating. Helps reinvest and snowball your returns.
