I personally don't see what the big deal is. I'll watch it in sub or dub depending on how if feel. usually I put on the sub to see If my listening comprehension of japanese has improved at all. but normally i throw it on and whatever the DVD defaults to is how it gets played. (that and keeping into consideration some of my friends don't care to read subtitles if an audio track is available in english)

Saiyuki is a rare case, where the dubs are a bit better than the subs

Compare and constrast:

Setting:One of many fights carried out between Goku and Gojyo, while traveling in the jeep.

Dubs:
Gojyo- God dammit this one’s hot. Goku get me another beer.
Goku-Get you own beer, jerk off!
Gojyo--Okay, you’re going to get me a beer or I’m going to take this can and shove it up your whiney little ass, you got that!
Goku-You just try and see what happens, ya shit head!
Gojyo- Oh yeah!
Goku-You’re just looking for an excuse to touch my ass, aren’t ya!?
Gojyo- You little fag! Don’t project your fantasies on me!
Goku-Alright! That’s it! Pull over, I’m takin’ him out
Sanzo- Your little unrequited love affair is starting to get on my nerves! Get a room!
<insert awkward pause, Goku and Gojyo look shocked>
Hakkai-Good move there Sanzo.
Sanzo- I thought so. Thanks
Hakkai- Oh my, it’s awfully quiet back there, are you makin’ out?

Subs:
Gojyo- Damn. This one’s not cold. Goku get me that beer over there.
Goku- Get it yourself!
Gojyo-What!? Is that any way to speak to your elder!?
Goku-Being twenty years over doesn’t make you great or anything!
Gojyo-What did you say!?
Goku-Oh how I envy you, you’re so great! Bravo! Well done!
Gojyo- Shaddup! Quit your sissy babbling!
Goku-Who’s the one that won’t let up, baldy!
Sanzo-Damn it! Don’t you know how to shut your mouths back there!? This isn’t a field trip!
<insert awkward pause, Goku and Gojyo look shocked >
Hakkai-Oh, it isn’t?
Sanzo- Well I guess it’s not much different.
Hakkai- Now, now, the next town should be coming into sight soon

Perhaps it is a bad example. I guess you'd have to hear it.

Because putting in loads of immature insults really means it's improved on the original

I suppose you're right. I guess you'd have to hear the voices in order for it to be amusing.
It was a mistake on my part. Sorry

If the dub is good then I watch it. I've seen a few I like better in English.

However I will take subtitles over a horrid dub job any day.

Ever try to watch the dub of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon?

Talk about a flat untimed piss poor dub. But with subtitles it was awesome.

What? You call that dub BETTER? God I hate it when people (like dubbers and movie directors) take stupid worthless content and plaster it all over everything. Not everything is about sex!

You were to busy watching the movie... to notice the movie? Were you paying attention?
