I use to be one of those people who only checked out dubs, but now I'm perfectly fine with subs. While I do think people like to complain much about recent dubs, it is true that there have been some terribly acted and scripted dubs in the past that is hard to get behind. Subs also sometimes have voices that generally flow nicer and are just great to listen to. If there's an English track, I try to give both a listen.
Granted, I will admit though that there are just some series that should not be dubbed. Not because I think it will "ruin the great sub", but just because there's some anime out there that rely heavy on Japanese wordplay and puns that would not exactly translate to the English language well. Ex - Bakemonogatari, Sayonara Zetsbou Sensei, etc
