If you want to be very strict about it, it's neither since Japanese doesn't have an "r" or "l" sound. But, in Romanizing Japanese, you'll often see things as "r" or "l" because the sound they do have is somewhere in between.

Well, the official title would be considered the "real" title. And if different companies licensed different series/movies/OVAs of it, they might use different romanizations.
