I've always liked both. My grandmother was named Elsie (not a nn), and I like Elspeth and Elsa as variants because Elsie seems so nickname-y to me. And also there's the Elsie the Cow association. :b Even my grandmother was aware of that one. :)

Elsie. If I could get away with putting it in all-caps, I would.

My first instinct is to say Elsie. I love the name simply because it is my grandma's name and she's the only Elsie I know. Depending on if its a fn or mn I might actually go with Elise.

While I like them both, I'll have to say Elise.

Elise, absolutely

Elsie is the name of this beauty:

And I'm sorry to say it, but for me it never fails to bring that sort of bovine image to mind.

Elise always sounds a bit harsh to me.

I've just never liked it.

I'm not quite sure why, but I just don't.

Me, too. It doesn't paint a very pretty picture for me.
