The old anime is bad. Period. The writing is horrible, the characters are annoying and most of the animation is just... I don't even have words for it.
It sure did have some very good moments, but those were extremely rare. Out of every Sailor Moon adaption, the 90's anime is by far the weakest and also the one that goes furthest away from what Naoko Takeuchi actually wanted Sailor Moon to be. If that is how you want to see Sailor Moon and you can put up with the many flaws, that's great for you.
But I can't accept the 90's animes flaws. For me, Sailor Moon is the manga, the musicals, and the toku. And Crystal, of course (btw. episode 5 was wonderful, I totally loved it).

As for the dubbing thing: From what I heard, the new English dub is kinda good. Not perfect acting-wise, but much better than the old one and the voices fit the characters very well.
As for other dubs: I liked the Japanese dub the most, because the acting was amazing. The german dub had some major flaws, not only the translation (that is cheesy as hell), but also the choice of VAs (only a few of them sound right) and the acting- when the second studio took over and replaced some of the VAs, the acting quality went down the hill. Which is a pity because these days, most of the Sailor Moon VAs are pretty good.
And very nice people. Dominik Auer, the second voice of Tux, has already recorded some stuff to promote our page and next week, I'll finally get the chance to get to know Sabine Bohlmann (first Moon) and Ulrike Jenni (Neptune) better. From what I heard, they are really likeable. (Btw. R.I.P. Veronika Neugebauer, Jupiter's VA. She died a while ago... *sniff*)
