Doxory?

nim has decided Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away should be:

Both. Disk is free (enough).

ctl: I am fond of the Disney voice actors for Studio Ghibli films.
jtu: Chris has sold me on Disney voice acting when we've watched it. In general, I prefer subtitling for anime though.
jmorzins: What's your audience? Amateurs? Anime snobs? They both have excellent dubs, and I recommend the dub for amateurs. It gives you freedom to watch the rest of the screen, instead of obsessing on the text in the bottom.
jesse: They're special and were dubbed and scripted really well in English

ntn: ...but only because I find voice acting less annoying in general when I can't understand it.
lakmiseiru: The dubs are really good; I watched Mononoke first dubbed, then subbed. I do feel they should be subbed, however, because (despite the good dubs) I'm used to seeing this style with a Japanese audio track and hearing English always throws me a bit.
Ian: Unless the voice acting adequately captures the Japanese essence of each film. Come to think of it, the voice acting for Mononoke was not very good.

kevinr: AFAICT, the dubs of both are good enough that either option is fine. I definitely got more out of Spirited Away dubbed, but that may be because I watched a crappy fansubbed version first.

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
