That turned out horribly wrong. Stuff like Vampire Knight and Rosario+Vampire I'm currently scared off, as well. In the end, I guess sub is leaning a little more towards what I would choose. Except for that, they're pretty much tied.

Here's an interesting tidbit: Did you know it's extremely likely that, when reading the subtitles in fansubbed/subbed anime, that you are actually interpreting said words in your own speaking voice and not the character's voice.

Of course, I'm not even going to start on the likely quality of the translation of a fan.

I just thought your post was a good building block of sorts, after all this is supposed to be a "debate". xD
