Well, I think for Brittanica, we might let a little bit of real world seep in, and use the obviously correct "encyclopaedia" in that context. I might say otherwise if the DWU disagreed, but the Whoniverse seems kinda neutral on that point.

As for in general, if we can't decide based on its uses in the DWU, then we should probably go for 'ae' here too, as it's more generally accepted in Britain (hence it always being first in the entry in a British dictionary).

But, honestly, as long as we can decide, I'm fine wither way.
