Those variants are all close enough. My relatives use all of those variants,
and none of them are "wrong".
Where people really go off the rails is that they don't keep the letters in
the right order. I get Peezniak, Piniaski, Pinziak, Pinekski Pizinikski and
godknowswhatall else. (putting ski on the end is a common mistake. Everyone
in the US "knows" that Polish names end in ski)
