I'd definately have to go with susbtitles. I cab't stand it when the mouths don't match the words that are being spoken. :/

I prefer dubbing so I can hear the language I am most familiar with.

Subtitles for me. Watching Run Lola, Run in German with subtitles and then english dubbed just doesn't compare.
The original version is so much more enjoyable for me to watch.

Subs, obvously. It is one and only exeption and it's polish dubbing for 1st Shrek. And it's not because of the voice actors but it has a great translation that was adopted to fit polish pop-culture instead of american:P And there wouldn't have such comedic impact on viewers if it was written. I used to like dub for Harry Potter movies too, but then I've heard original Hermione and Snipe way of talking and no one can beat that ;)

It's all about the subtitles. I use to like dubbed when I was younger because I didn't want to read. When I gave it a try I realized subbed is where it's at. You get to hear the actors original voices, and it works out better for me. I understand why people would still enjoy dubbed though. :)
