The z helps English speakers to pronounce it and by the same token makes it confusing for German speakers. So, it depends on where you are.

...because I like all the nn possibilities and I prefer the Z sound slightly more than the S one.

It looks nicer written down and it softens the name a bit IMO.

I used to be firmly Elizabeth, but Elisabeth just looks so much softer and gentler to me now. It also has family significance, as my great-grandmother was named Elisabetta, which was anglicized to Elisabeth and passed on to my aunt.

Being my name, and being the very aristocratic-looking English form, I strongly prefer it to Elisabeth, which is fine if you are German or French. Besides...I hate nicknames like Elise or Lisa, which you can get from Elisabeth but not necessarily from Elizabeth.

Elisabeth!
It's the spelling I'm more used to and I usually dislike names which are spelled with a Z instead of a S.

My feelings exactly.
