Hehe. I used to be a pure dubber. But after seeing awesome Subs such as Love hina, Hellsing, Full Metal Panic, and Ranma 1/2, I started to lean near the middle. The more I watch anime, the more I like subs. Right now I'd say I'm 45% dub fan and 55% sub fan. In general I watch an anime both ways and stick with the best/most appropriate voice acting.

I'm primarily a subber. But If I'm watching anime 'idlely', like spending the whole day playing Civilizatin and anime on TV at once, I'll switch to the dub so I can understand the dialoug when not looking at the TV.

Unless I'm watchin' Fansubs, then I must dedicate attention to the television.

I'm a subber, but that may be because I'm used to watching all movies and TV shows subtitled anyway.

Personally, I prefer subbed.... It sort of keeps the original "flavor" of the anime.... Like with Gödel's theorem on formally undecidable propositions or whatever it's called. I prefer a 20 page introduction about the notation to something with modern notation.... Same with Shakespeare; sure there are complete revamps of the text, to make it more modern, but it just doesn't carry the same meaning as the original. But I don't mind dubbed anime.

I've said it once, I'll say it again, I watched things subbed. The only time I watch things dubbed, is when it's in any language other than english... I hate english dubbing with a passion!

i watch subbed, basically always...EXCEPT there is only one exception to the rule: Anything that Dave Lucas does VA'ing for...even if the rest of the cast sucks, i really dont care...but other then that, its subbed for me.

It depends on how good/bad the dub/sub is/are.

Examples:
GoldenBoy = Dub > Sub
Lodoss = Sub > Dub

All things being equal, dub.
