what are the differences between these pronunciation of simple shva

i'm not asking about biblical hebrew here..
but what are the differences between these pronunciation of simple shva
For example, in benching(jewish grace after meals), the first word of the last paragraph, is Y-ru.
In school, they taught an "ashkefardi"/modern israeli mix, and I learnt that the vocal simple shva is pronounced uh like the uh in banana buh-nana.
Though when we sung grace after meals, where the first word of the last paragraph is Y-ru, we would say Yiru. Though we were once corrected, that it's Yuh-ru. (often people learn that that vowel is uh but are surprised to hear themselves say Yiru on the first word of the last paragraph, it's something one picks up from others, maybe israelis in school).
Is Yiru how sephardim do it? Or how modern israeli does it?
I'm wondering what the difference is in pronunciation of vocal simple shva, in modern israeli, sephardi, and ashkenazi?
(As for how it is pronounced in academic understanding, that's for my other thread that also asks re its ancient greek transliteration)
Thanks
