As a "US American," I think it should be determined by size. After
all, who's is bigger?

I'm referring of course to the US based company, Analog Devices. If
there's a larger company out there that uses "Analogue" in their name,
I'll acquiesce and give the Brits the win.

;-)

Of course, in the end I think you should spell it however you damn
well please, as both spellings are accepted as correct.
