I prefer Orc to Ork, mainly I have to admit because I am used to it (although I could get used to Ork), and also because it is a much better looking word. Probably because Ork has two 'tall' letters in a very short word.
In any case, our decision cannot be based on personal preference. Tolkien probably would have changed it to Ork. But, LotR has Orc, and there is no possibility of changing that. At any rate, we have made a decision, and I don't think that we should lightly go back on it.
