I like both names as well, so maybe listing pros and cons for each would help you. For example, Avery is unisex, while Ava is not, if that's a concern at all. Also, Avery is a syllable longer than Ava (so one might sound better with your ln than the other).
Another idea is to use both! :) I've seen many people who are considering/using Avery for a girl using the shortened form Ava as a nn for it! Some have even altered the spelling to make this more "acceptable" ... Avary, Avarie, etc. I don't think that's necessary but it is an option. Since the two are so similar and you probably wouldn't use them for two sisters (Ava AND Avery) I think I would go with Avery, whatever spelling, for the full name and give her the Ava nn option. ;) No tough decisions required! :)
