I guess it depends on where you live.
In Sweden ( where I live ) Maria is one of the most boring, standard names ever. Maria and Anna. It just does not get more unoriginal and no personality than that.
Marie is a little less common in my generation, but very common none the less.
Mary strikes me as a really classy choice for a girl in an English speaking country. It's one of those names which can never be trendy and then outdated, which doesn't automatically make it a great name, but I would love it if I met a baby Mary today.
