I alternate between an-nuh-STAY-zee-ah and an-nuh-STAH-zee-ah. If I could train myself to automatically use the latter I might add it to my list because I quite like the sound.
I do like the Russian pronunciation (or at least the one listed as Russian in the comments). I wish I could get away with that.
As for it working in the US, it depends how popular it is (in your area at least). I know in my part of the UK it's rather rare so I think it would be quite easy to have it pronounced the way I prefer.
