But you have now come across the nightmare of all publishers - how to choose the best text to publish.

This was my assumption, but seeing as I ran into a similar issue with my Lovecraft books (He's an American, but all the early text I could find used British English), I was wondering if I was making an error.
I've always wondered when American English came into common use, If I could find out, I'd have an idea on the prefered lexicon to use for any more books I make.
I think I'll use American English on all of his books, this will have at least consistancy, even if I've chosen the wrong one.
