Using "h" for some >words and "th" for others would be strange. I pronounce "maiky'elsem" as [majk@helsem] because that's how it was intended to be said. Similarly, Hawai'ian has [r] and [l] as free allophones of /l/, though most people use [l]. Yet in borrowed words, you hear more r sounds when that fits the original sound, such as [?arani] for /'alani/ "orange".
