I am not UK based, so I don't know what applies.
Usually wire transfer is safe and fast. There is no way anybody is going
to drain your bank account because you are the one that is receiving
the money.
Paypal is more convinient for the receiver but they charge up to 4% .
Withdrawing funds from a Paypal account in the US is free. I don't know
where you have seen it costs 9.3% .
Forget Western Union unless you need the money in the same day it is
sent. It is too expensive.
There is also international postal money order. Your client sends the
money in a local post office and you can receive it in 5 five days in
your local post office.
I think Paypal is probably more convinient.
