From what I understand, the British pronunciation would be [anti]
pretty much everywhere. But in American English I usually hear [antai]
, although it is mixed up with [anti]
from time to time.
Is there any good rule/reason to use one versus the other?

The prefix "anti" is acceptably pronounced both ways, however it is usually pronounced [antai] (or to a lesser extent [anti]) when stressed or emphasized, and [antɪ] as in 'lid' when said otherwise.
