Which macro control keys in Excel are usually reserved
or which keys should I avoid???

For example, I would not pick Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V or Ctrl-Z
because those are usually reserved for Copy, Paste and
Undo respectively. It seems like so many other letters
would be taken or reserved for common Excel
actions!

Following is the list commonly used

Ctrl+A
Ctrl+B
Ctrl+C
Ctrl+D
Ctrl+F
Ctrl+G
Ctrl+I
Ctrl+K
Ctrl+N
Ctrl+O
Ctrl+P
Ctrl+Q
Ctrl+R
Ctrl+S
Ctrl+U
Ctrl+V
Ctrl+W
Ctrl+X
Ctrl+Z

It is safe to use Ctrl+Shift+A or Ctrl+Shift+B etc...

For details press F1 and type Keyboard Shortcut in text box.

.

That might not be the "full" list. It doesn't list "Ctrl-T" as an assigned
shortcut,
yet that key combination seems to be already reserved for a "create table"
option.
