Yeah Rob, I feel that Bruce Faulconer may fit DBZ more, but Shunsuke Kikuchi's fits DB more and is overall better to listen to by itself (like in the CD Collection).
Faulconer music was terribly unfitting for dbz as ut completely ignored the tone and Atmosphere od the scene and took all emotions and drama away and except some of his tracks overall it was very bland and unfitting becoz synthesizer music never fitted dbz
I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.

I think that the Japanese music got boring in the Buu saga, whereas it was my favorite point for Faulconer. Faulconer had a lot of awesome themes, and so did the Japanese score.
I think it actually got pretty good in Buu saga with suspenseful and good fighting soundtracks, faulconer music just doesn't capture the dbz feel and turns it more into a pro wrestling cartoon show becoz his soundtracks had no emotions other than hyping kids up
