If you want it to rhyme the word "line" then Madeline is better. Madeleine seems to me like it's spelled specifically to avoid that pronunciation.

Neither, really. I'd say MAD-eh-lin for both in English. In French muhd-lenn and muhd-leen (roughly).It comes from Magdalene which is -lenn. So -lin makes the most sense to me as a pronunciation. I believe the -line pronunciation is newer.But Madeline works better if you are set on -line.

I prefer Madeleine, but that's just me. I don't have a good reason.*

It probably wouldn't matter; it's not a standard pronunciation, so whichever spelling you use, the bearer would have to explain her (or your) pronunciation of choice anyway.
