For me, bad dubs destroy some chances of me getting to known more about the title, especially if I have never watched the original Japanese dub before. Fortunately, I have a VERY high tolerance for bad dubs, basically if a dub murders my ears over time, I'll drop it, that's it.

I never watch dubs at all but I'm just responding to the question in the op. If we are going by worse, having no dub is logically worse because its likely that it'll never have a dub at all or in the future as its marketability in the international market is unknown or very limited. A bad dub that succeeds can cause a movement for companies to invest in anime so you can more easily get better dubs or even anime more targeted towards foreigners.
Sub only or bust people sound like weebs. I know Japanese seiyuus are the best, but most Normie's don't want to watch something they can't understand.
