From my experience, most people on HK forums that bash R1 companies are generally just looking for a reason to justify them buying the HK's instead. So they can be like ' . . . and that's why I don't support Funi, but buy the HK's instead'.
The only thing that gets to me about Funi and Viz is that they stick 3 episodes on a disc. That's the one thing I will not support, especially on a super long series like InuYasha. I am buying Kiddy Grade despite the episode count because they dropped the price on the discs and it's only 26 episodes.
Evilomar is right. The companies outsource the dubbing. With the exception of ADV, because they use their own dubbing studio (IS&M) for 80% of their stuff. With all those dubs, some are bound to be not so good. the example you used (Ayashi No Ceres) is also an older title. Dubbing in the US has improved greatly over the last few years.
