If we could magically pick a frequency and voltage for electrical systems to use (without sunk costs), what would it be?

What's the most efficient for modern grids and electronics?

Would it be a higher frequency (1000hz)?

I know higher voltage systems are more dangerous but make it easier to transmit more power (toaster ovens in the EU are better because of 240v). I'm curious if we would pick a different voltage too and just have better/safer outlets.
