I'm going to add in that I'd also prefer the dub. The sub is good, too, but I have issues with specific character's voices in the subbed being too high pitched for me (aka Happy and Mira).
The dubbed cast is fantastic tho. Todd Haberkorn and Cherami Leigh as Natsu and Lucy respectively are one of the best dubbed VA duos out there. Not to mention the cast including the likes of Colleen Clinkenbeard (Erza), Tia Ballard (Happy), Monica Rial (Mira) and Christopher Sabat (Elfman).
Plus, not many reactors chose to watch Fairy Tail in the dubbed (TheFlamingShark is the only one I can think of off the top of my head) so it'd be cool to see someone do it.

I agree with most of the comments here, sub and dub are both really good. I do prefer the dub for this anime though. Todd Haberkorn absolutely crushes it as Natsu.
Also, the english voice for Erza is the same as Luffy in One Piece, Colleen Clinkenbeard.

Personally I prefer the Dub, but thats because thats what I'm used to. I'm usually working while I watch, so 9 times out of 10 reading subs just isn't an option for me. That said, I think you should stick to subs. I've seen what the sub only elitists do to channels that try to watch anything dubbed lol

Dub and sub for fairy tail are fairly equivalent. The odd scene falls flat in the Dub but equally the odd scene is much better than the sub.

yeah i agree I watched in dub first but I prefer reactors to react to subs and watch dub on their own time

The only problem with the dub is that not everyone has english as their first language, which would make it harder to understand what the characters are saying. I mean, we can all understand ruff anyway, so i guess dub wont be a problem, but sticking with the sub is safer imo

The dub for Fairy Tail is actually pretty decent. There's only two characters who are really bad in it. (there's a younger character, which the VA makes sound like an old woman)

Personally I'd like it if you switched to the dub. The dub is good and most reactors watch the sub so it would set you apart.
Will people complain about you switching to the dub? Absolutely. If there is one thing certain with the anime community it is that they will complain about a dub regardless of its quality or if they've even seen it.

If I could vote I would say dub.
But if you decide not to switch to dub, can you drop a link with a timer so I can match it up?

I watched it originally in dub so dub feels more natural to me....but almost all the reactors I've seen watch it in sub so it's really up to you but I would suggest maybe on your own time rewatching an episode or 2 in dub and see if you like it
