Alice.
Lol Allison but I don't like either spelling because I don't care for the name. Allison just looks more like a real name than Alison. Neither is a terrible spelling but I don't love either. Something just looks wrong for both spellings and changing the I to a Y looks even worse.

Allison looks more complete.
I think Allison looks more finished. I prefer that.
Allison, it just looks nicer

Alison.
The extra 'l' looks added for the sake of it and silly. And for some reason makes it look like a surname, though I'm pretty sure that I'm being influenced by Allinson's which is a bread making company...

Caveat: I don't like the name to begin with. But if I had to, Alison. Maybe it's just what I'm used to because Alison was the name of my best friend when I was a teenager and that's how she (or her parents actually) spelled it. But also, it just seems more "authentic", like the extra L is just a frilly add-on.
Not saying it is more authentic, just that it seems that way to me. Speaking of authenticity, I've also known an Alisoun. She was the girlfriend, later wife, of one of my husband's friends. The friend explained it was spelled that way because that spelling was medieval and more authentic, and her parents were into Chaucer. My husband and I always jokingly pronounced her name A-lis-OWN, with the last syllable rhyming with "brown".

Alison. It looks neater to me, though I don't feel strongly either way.
