It depends on the series. Some series are good both subbed and dubbed, some are better subbed, and some are better dubbed.

An example of some series where I like it both subbed and dubbed are: Cowboy Bebop; .hack//SIGN; Noir; Najica: Blitz Tactics; Gunsmith Cats.

I can't think of any other series right off that I like the sub and dub for. I do know that most dubs that are, well, bad, to me, in some way are shows like Sailor Moon S and up, Naruto, DBZ, Digimon Adventure/Adventure 02/Frontier (I've never seen Tamers' dub or Savers).

As for voice acting, imo, I don't care one way or the other where DBZ is concerned. I have issues with both its dub and original.

As for Digimon, I've only seen some of Frontier and didn't like its dub. I saw the originals prior to the dub, and I liked that, but didn't care for that season as a whole in general.

Even though Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon R put out by DiC wasn't the best in the world, I actually liked their version of it...but I would still watch subs over it.

Seems that the series that do get the "bad dubs" are the series that were kiddy to begin with.

In conclusion (I know I talk too much), I probably would watch something subbed before a dub. Subtitles don't bother me since I've been reading closed captioning since I was about 11 or 12, so I'm used of reading. For me, it's easy to keep up with what you're watching and reading the subs.
