I think either would be fine. Micaela is a legitimate spelling, and besides, I think the general population probably views Makayla as the default spelling anyway, as that was the most common. I don’t think Michaela would clash with an Italian surname at all. So if I were you I’d just go with whatever spelling I thought looked nicer. My personal preference is Michaela.
