I'd say that current English is closer to US than GB so let's go ahead for US.
I think it is better to use the en_GB spelling, as this is the better default for the world. Eg in Europe, and in India, the prefered spelling is en_GB, also in most other countries (AU, NZ, IE). It is almost only in the US that the US spelling is preferred.
Hard to find a measure.Trying google restricted to lang_en and some words with different spelling (e.g. utilization versus utilisation) gives ~60% en_US spelling. This small difference allows ideological and cultural discussions ...
