By dub standards, they were much better than most.
English dub was pretty good except for Shinji's feminine voice. The French dub was all-around great.
Story time:
I was at an anime con back in the '00s. Spike Spencer (Shinji dub VA) was one of the guests.
He was generally annoying and disrespectful to fans the entire time, but then he proceeds to get up on stage and say something like "thanks to you guys I get to party with Van Halen, so..."
The words "cringe" and "weeb" were still a few years off at that point, but imagine a room full of thousands of cringing weebs. Not a single clap - just a low murmur with that "what an asshole" air about it.
Yeah I’ve never been a purist about that stuff. If anything, I like having both subs and dubs, as you don’t just get two (similar) versions of the script, but you also get a new, third perspective in the ability to compare the two... but uhh yeah, I certainly can’t help but giggle at the odd line delivery here and there
