I mean overall, but if you guys want to make categories, that's fine too. Personally, I don't know, I was just curious.

I think I'd vote for Animeworks. They use the Bang Zoom dub studio, and always seem to include lots of cool extras on their DVDs,. The box sets for Magic Knight Rayearth were awesome!!!

I think ADV overall produces the best dub tracks but the gross mismanagement of their manga department makes me hesitant to call them the best.
...ah, between several evils, one must choose the least...

I couldn't really say because I've not enough experience, but I'd be undecided between Disney (for Miyazaki's stuff) and ShoPro (for Hamtaro). Both exceptional dubbing quality. ^_^

Most of the time, I like the series chosen by Geneon and Bandai more then those chosen by ADV. Those two lines also use Bang Zoom (which is why most of the animes airing on Adult Swin in the last two to three years have had the same voices).

I guess I'd be kinda partial to FuniMation. *Samurai 7*

I think ADV comes out the strong leader. They actually are capable of creating dubs I can *doublegasp* ENJOY! And the critics said it couldn't be done!
As Kodai did briefly mention, I think their manga escapades are regrettable, but that doesn't distract from their superiority in the area of anime production.

Geneon is the best, IMO.
I like alot of Funimation and Bandai titles, but yah, Geneon rox. XD

ADV by default. But it's more like a D- student being given the honors of top of class because the others received Fs

Ooh. Tough call.
Um....
RAAAAH!
I've only seen a few from each company....
Funimation + Samurai 7, Fullmetal Alchemist
Geneon + Gankutsuou, - Heat Guy J
ADV + RahXephon
Bandai + Cowboy Bebop, Big O, GITS: SAC
I guess it's Bandai...and that's cutting out Disney and all the smaller companies ^^;;

I'm going with FUNimation and Geneon. FUNimation usually has a pretty decent lineup and does a lot of good ideas for promoting their titles.
ADV would be good if they didn't keep licensing their poorest selling titles to TV, like Colorful and *vomits* Super Milk Chan.

No. Just...No. *is shot*
Anyways, I like FUNi's dub for FullMetal Alchemist, and AnimeWorks does a good job with their DVD sets. Also, Bandai, for Cowboy Bebop.

I like Funimation for Fullmetal Alchemist and Fruits Basket, but I'm gonna say my top pick is ADV....so...many....boxsets! (and when I say that I mean boxsets that I can actually afford....Go thinpacks! ^^)
