I quite like Annelise. I prefer it to the other versions, though none are bad.
I secretly prefer the spelling Annelise to Anneliese - and outwardly prefer both to Annalise - but of the three, Annelise is (somehow) the least familiar spelling in Anglophone cultures. Not sure how, as it makes more sense (in English) than Anneliese, but there you go.
I don't know why I like Annelise and Annamarie (despite not usually liking "combination" names at all), but... there you go.

I like it and spelt Annalise
My GP, an older woman, spells her name Anneliese and pronounces the final -e.
Afrikaans South Africans often use merged names, for instance if they want to name a child after both grandmothers. I knew a woman named Maria Elisabeth Helena who was always called Marelna; when she had a daughter, she named the baby Marelna, with no mn. I think the fashion is fading, but we don't keep naming statistics so it's hard to tell.
ETA the -s- in Anneliese is always pronounced s, not z.
