I would agree that a lot of english dubs are bad, but I consider Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell (Stand Alone Complex, not Arise) to be the two exceptions. The casting decisions were very well made.

I would add Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note to the list of well-dubbed content!

I'm hearing Baccano! dub is even better than the original, though I haven't gotten around to that one yet myself.

I think I went back to the Japanese, but I've heard this as well, and found the episodes I did watch to be quite enjoyable.

If you want to hear a good English dub check out AnimEigo's dub's of You're Under Arrest OVA or Oh My Goddess OVA. They are both crazy good. AnimEigo lost the distribution license so you'd have to hunt a little for an old copy, but it's worth it.

Edit: looks like I'm mistaken about the You're Under Arrest distribution license [1]
