Ella all the way. It sounds very pretty, and it’s not as common as Emma is. It also sounds more mature, and I’m glad it’s rising in popularity now.
I like Ella, but I love Emma! I'm a little sad that she is/ was so popular. She is so warm and kind.
Ella, I think. I do like Emma, but I've never actually met an Ella, so it seems a bit shinier to me. Also it could be a (very) loose honouring name for my great grandmother Ellen.
Ella is a very blue name to me - an icy blue, steely blue. I like how vertical it is, as well. Makes me think of pale spires on a fairytale castle.

Ella is an elegant woman in a mauve dress, Emma is younger and wears deep purple.
Strangely enough, I've never met an Emma before! I'd definitely prefer Ella for myself; I'm fond of -elle names.
I also prefer Emilia and Emily to Emma.
To cut a long story short: today I want to name my daughter Emma, but it's an oddity, so I'd probably end up naming her Ella and call her Elle.

Where I'm from, I can't use Ella since it's the Spanish word for "she" as well as its pronunciation is different. So in this case I choose Emma.
However, I like Ella more - its perennial, fresh, elegant, colourful while being mature. Short and sweet. If I was from an English-speaking country, Scandinavia or even Hungary (surprised by how recognisable it is throughout Europe!), I'd use it in a heartbeat.
In conclusion, I choose Ella rather than classic but now-überpopular Emma.

Ella! I like L's in names because they're pretty and fun to say.
Emma, a lovely classic name.
