Get a lesson sometime and have the pro teach you what do if you absolutely have to:
Hit it straight,
Not have it go right,
Not have it go left.
 
slight fade
 
Aim down the right side and place a baby fade in the middle of the fairway
 
If I have to hit a fairway I prefer to hit my standard shot which is straight typically. I definitely would not want to try to hit a different shot.
 
Straight. I’m always TRYING to hit it straight. Lately I’ve been doing a good job, but sometimes it creeps right a bit. Wry rarely does it go left, but when it does it goes WAY left.

In this situation I’d aim for the left 1/3 of the fairway in case it faded a bit. If I hit one of my giant pulls, it wouldn’t matter where I was aimed.
 
Straight to a slight fade is my normal/average driver shot so aim left center and let it go.
 
Go about 85% on the swing and hit a slight fade...
 
A cut with one of my fairway woods.
 
Bunt cut slightly lower tee swinging a lot more down with driver.
