Hi,

Either/neither has two different pronunciations. I'd like to know which one is common.

/ˈiː.ðər/
/ˈaɪ.ðər/

I don't do IPA, but they are all common and widely heard in all varieties of English.

Use whichever pronunciation you like.

Additionally, in some dialects – eg Irish and northern British English – you'll hear 'ayther' and 'nayther' (where the first syllable rhymes with 'day').
