Mix of memory and rudimentary research indicates that while both were in classical latin, caelum was preferred; church latin prefers coelum, however.

The dictionary entry I linked to above has some citations for "coelum" among classical authors, principally Terence. But it does seem to be more of a Church Latin thing, so maybe this is my Jesuit education showing through?

Huh. Apparently this issue is complicated, and the classical sources are split. But Lewis and Short say "caelum" with "coelum" as the alternate. That's good enough for me. I withdraw my criticism.
