Yikes! Which pronunciation is that?

The one that sounds like mine (fine, dine, sine, line, pine, vine, wine,
etc) with -icks or -ucks on the end, or the one that sounds like bin (fin,
gin, kin, min, pin, sin, tin, win, etc) with -icks or -ucks on the end?

I've changed back and forth twice already!  :-(
I say lin-icks now but I've always felt line-ucks was more natural for
westerners, perhaps because of Linus from the peanuts cartoons...   :-)
