Sela and Selah are the same name if they sound the same.
Selah is probably sel-akh, and Sela sel-ah. Selah: http://www.hebrewletters.com/item.cfm?itemid=1376 (boy ONLY)I have to mention that I've never seen any of these names used. Sela is a term often found in prayers, it indicated a pause.The feminine forms of Selah are Silit (http://www.hebrewletters.com/item.cfm?itemid=3631) and Salit (http://www.hebrewletters.com/item.cfm?itemid=5860).

I think that they're both lovely. I can go for either spelling; I tend to prefer the simpler spelling of a name (Nora over Norah, Elinor to Eleanor), but not always (Susannah over Susanna, Sarah over Sara). In the case of Selah and Sela, I think that the final "h" makes the name look more complete, but I'm not opposed to Sela either. :)
