I don't know. Both sound just as silly to me. I've bought one of the DBZ movie Blu-rays from the US and just for the heck of it tried the English track out.
It's a pretty big shock hearing Vegeta address Trunks with : "Shut up you little brat" or something along those lines, with a thick american accent, when you're used to Ryou Horikawa's voice

Speaking of which, I love how they've cast Masi Oka in Heroes but Ando's lines always stick out like a sore thumb. His Korean accent really sticks out every time he speaks Japanese. I wish they had cast another Japanese actor for Ando.
