Sabre in British English.
Saber in American English.
Same for centre-center metre-meter litre-liter etc. Unless you plan on an attempt at uniting those two large English dialects I would recommend just flipping a coin.

And where are the 2 Torpedo Lpuncher that are mentioned on Memory Alpha? 

Armament: Four type-10 phaser emitters, two photon torpedo launchers That would be a little nasty ship.

Perhaps one of the federation avatars can get a Saber with photon torpedo's. Would make an interesting addition if i say so myself.

You forgot the new vet. ability  aginst Klingons  "Feilds Of Tribbles" weapond.  Transports  a  package of  Raveniously hungry  Tribbles aboard the Klingon ship. After  3 seconds the tribbles devour the  crew  at a rate of 1 crew member per 5  each seconds . Mandated  by the  recent UFP  accords for
" Greener and  less  destructive  "    weaponds .

haha Klingons are actually allergic to Tribbles so you could have an extra crew member die every second from severe allergic reaction and anaphylactic shock.

Not allergic, they just hate each other...

Exactly, Tribbles are cute and fuzzy baby machines and Klingons are blood thirsty warriors. They just don't mesh.

Since when are Tribbles carnivors, I thought they only ate grain and such.

And as for the original debate, the Star Trek Encyclopedia I have here in America lists the ship under "Saber class starship" thus I say "Saber". I think someone early on said that their copy used "Sabre" so maybe localized versions were released.

I really do prefer "Sabre" on account of it being the correct spelling of the word. *glares at America*

But given that it's an american creation...

Who said it wasn't?

I like Sabre more because it's a little more stylized than "Saber", and you can trace it's history back to another ship.  Yes, despite the fact that I'm American.

Quaddmgtech probably just glared at England because Exodus glared at America.

Hehe, I'm born of two worlds (at least in regards to citizenship)

Oh yeah!?   Well...I'm glaring back at you, English Kinnigits!  We'll take all your tea, and.....we'll throw it into the harbor, and.....errr...have a party!  Yeah, take that, you tea totalers!

Fight Fight Fight!!!

Ha!!

Disclaimer:  I actually like tea, with just a bit of milk, so not all of it will go into the harbor.
