As a native English speaker with little familiarity with the French language, I say go for the proper French pronunciation.
The problem is, odds are you won't understand it.
I once had to refer to the city of Grande Prairie (Alberta) in a conversation with someone that lived there and she had no clue whatsoever what those words were. And I was unsure how they were mispronouncing it. I had to write it down.

You got me curious. How do they mispronounce it? (bonus for using the IPA)
I really don't remember. That was a decade ago.
Do we have an Albertan around to try pronouncing it? :)
Well, my Google-fu gives me "grand prehree", or IPA, [grænd pɹɛəɹi].
