Which do you prefer?
Honestly, I have seen the anime crowd tend to drift more towards Subs rather than the Dubs.
Subs tend to not capture ALL of the exact meanings of the words that each character says within the show and the Dubs captures even less of that.
I am 110% a Subs fan over Dubs.

For anime? Generally sub. Dub for pretty much everything else.

In anime dubs, as every single character is voiced by a woman and has a high pitched annoying voice. Always.
For anything else, subs.

Definitely subs for anime. Helps me pick up tidbits of Japanese which is cool, and normally the Japanese voice actors are better and less annoying than the English ones.

I started watching with dubs because I started watching via Toonami and SciFi so as a habit I watched everything with dubs for years. I started going to an anime club last year and they watch everything with subs so I've started doing that as well. Good subs give you a lot more flavor of the original script. If you just have ok subs you may as well watch a dub.
Really there is a lot of stuff in anime that unless you are familiar with Japanese history and culture will go over your head and you'll never even know it. Some of it is actually important to the plot or characters as motivators and personality.

I think Dubs are better if they choose good voice actors.

Subs in almost all cases unless it's an anime I originally grew up watching with dubs.
With a few exceptions... Or if my drawing and can't watch the subs and draw at the same time.
All hail kitty pig.

I prefer dubs, mostly because I like to fall asleep to cute girls doing moe things.
