This depends in part on the accent pattern, and in part on the direction of
analogical levelling.  Proterodynamic words in -iH(2)- tend to come out one
way, and hysterodynamic ones the other - because one paradigm has more case
forms containing -ieH(2) than the other, biasing the direction of
analogical levelling.
