Clara for sure.
Clara is harsh and brassy, but it's classic, antique enough to not be dowdy anymore, and feminine in a strong way. I mentally have it in a category with names like
Helen,
Martha, and
Dorothy.
Louise seems more mediocre. Like a name that was trendy in its time, rather than feeling like a classic. It goes with names like
Shirley,
Rita,
Thelma in my mind. And sounds ugly to my ears, luWEEZ.
Louisa's better, more classicky to me and less ugly - but not better than
Clara, because WEE.
