TO be honest, I prefer the dub most of the time
The reason being that it's easier and more enjoyable since the dubbers take liberties with most translations that work better for an NA audience. Whn I read subs, there are all these japanese references I almost never get.
Furthermore, everyone complains that NA voice actors can't compare to the Japanese ones. I don't agree at all: I'd say they're about even most of the time.

I'm a sub person myself. Why?
#1. I Honestly can't stand most dub VA's. Half of the time they sound nothing like the original! It's only rare cases do you find ones who do an excellent job. A good example is the VA cast from Fruits Basket.
#2. Things are most usually changed to fit the english enviroment. God forbid we talk about anything Japanese in an anime -_-;...
#3. Music for the original is sometimes dubbed, and in the process, turns out to be horrible. If they don't dub the original though, they make up their own stupid poppy sounding crap. Again, like the VA's, you do have some rare cases where the people make it sound respectable.
#4. I just like the original voices! They sound more human and the people can actually act...
So pretty much, I'm a sub person. With the subs I can understand them, but still get the Japanese feel of things.

yeah, sometimes it must be dubbed.
But it sucks when they made a shitty dub.
