Although I hate dubs in general, the only dub I watched was Pokemon since subs are really rare for this anime. Since I cannot compare with original voices, the voices in the dub became for me the "real" voices and I am quite satisfied with that. Besides, the names of pokemons are also consistent with the US versions I play so that I appreciate all the more.As for the worst dubs, I will say all the others. I didn't watch many dubs but for the few I did (Love Hina, Blue Seed, Ah! My Goddess...) I really found the dubs execrable compared to the subs.

I admit to being a tad biased in this department, as almost all of the time I will take a subtitle over a dub but...I won't be too negative, so I'll only name one. FFVII:AC was pretty bad...(I did see the subtitled version first though...)Well, one more, Sailor Moon! I'm sorry, but the North American version cut episodes left right and centre, erased the Haruka/Michiru (Uranus/Neptune) relationship (because apparently creepy incest-seeming cousins are much better than low-key lesbian love), and was generally disruptive to the plot of the anime. Subbed is the only real way to watch it.^_^

Because I haven't seen an awful lot of anime except for occasional episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh, Tokyo Mew Mew and full seasons of Sailor Moon and Pokemon I can't really judge. The Sailor Moon dubs are OK and so are the Pokemon ones, but the Pokemon ones are better because it's more modern and it actually looks like it's what they are saying.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! dub is simply terrible. In contrast, the Neon Genesis Evangelion, Voices Of A Distant Star, Inu Yasha, Pokemon (yes, seriously!) and Sonic X dubs are all highly commendable, if not excellent.The One Piece dub can only be described as horrendous. Of course, the original Japanese version is a masterpiece; perhaps that is why the English adaptation pales so severely in comparison.

Best: Kinnikuman Legacy, frankly they couldn't make this series any worse then it already was. The Ichigo Mashimaro dub stays pretty true to the real thing but they can't replace Fumiko Orikasa's awesome seiyuu-ness.Worse: One Piece, replacing guns with pop guns is kinda crossing the line. Oh and the Galaxy Angel's choice on voice acting is pretty horrendous. I've heard bad replacements before but they made my precious Milfie sound like a complete dumbass.
