According to jisho.org "hen" as romanization of 辺 is the most common one. "he" is an archaism or is used to qualify the shore of the sea, but not a small body of water like a pond. Although "he" and "hotori" sound better to the poetically inclined, it's debatable whether Araki would use such pronunciations and btw the second one ("hotori") was false and you agreed. Maybe "hen" is dull, but I think it's correcy since I don't picture Araki using archaic or too poetic wordings like that. Hapter names have always been matter of factly with him.
