For Z, oh hell yeah. For Kai, I respectfully disagree. I think the dub is better than the original in terms of the voice acting.
I see where you're coming from, but i still prefer the original Kai.
Yeah some things in the dub of Kai put me off sometimes. Things like King Kai's voice, name changes, etc.

True, but the actors in the JPN Kai dub just aren't up to snuff. At best, they are as good as they were 20 years ago, but usually they were worse. They weren't bad, just not as good. The dub however was DRAMATICALLY better and something I would put firmly in the Great category. I can't say the same for the Japanese version.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.
