Definitely, the first pronunciation ([ˈbuttɐ]) is correct.
Double-t sounds like a long t. Tongue touches the palate, sleeps for a moment and untouches it.
I would use [ˈbuttɐ] if this word is on its own:
После армии его будто подменили: он возмужал и стал по-другому смотреть на жизнь
and the latter in как будто:
Давай представим, как будто сейчас восемнадцатый век: нет ни компьютеров, ни телефонов

1I'd use [ˈbuttɐ] for both :). Though in the second example the while word is going to receive significantly less stress in speech and end up being pronounced faster. Still, with a noticeable pause on "t". Maybe not audible for every listener but palpable for me when I am talking (making it "бута" requires me to consciously prnounce the T without stopping) Commented Jun 19, 2014 at 11:51
[ˈbuttɐ] : It has a double 't' and ends with short 'o'.
