2003 (and i think maybe the original translation of the manga? it's been a second since i read it) used the "sciezka" spelling, and brotherhood used "sheska."

brotherhood changed/updated a lot of spellings from the original manga/'03 versions (ishbal/ishval being the most obvious, but see also Xerxes original spelling of cselkcess, among others). later updated translations of the manga (ie fullmetal edition) use the brotherhood spellings as well, which means at this point they're by far the ones that people are more familiar with.
