to date I have never seen a dub I have prefered over the original cast.
... maybe its just a personal thing I dunno.. then again my only two experiences were with Naruto and One Piece.
Naruto I saw after friends got me watching the anime again ( originally I watched the first 5-6 episodes and swore never to watch it again... ) and all it did was make me giggle.
One Piece.. the voice actors actually sounded ( from what I remember ) somewhat similar to the japanese one which in hind sight is well done. However with that show the taking out of things like blood and the animation changes ( the changing of the white hostage at gun point to a black kid being held hostage by a guy with a giant cartoonish hammer being one of the better known.. ) didn't work for me. However in this case the dub did make me start watching the anime so I have to give it some credit I suppose =)
If Naruto and One Piece are your only experiences then you've only really experienced one real dub and then a joke of a travesty of a butchery. Actual edits aside, the voice is pretty terrible regardless. They all sound like their on crack and Sanji has a Brooklyn accent for some bizarre reason.
And yeah, I prefer subs as well. The Bleach dub doesn't bother me and it's fairly well done.
