Just a side-question, why would anybody bother with dubs when there's plenty of good quality subs around for just about anything (so you have a much wider selection available) and some subtlety is always lost via dubbing anyway ?
First sorry it took so long to answer back I just plain missed it......lol
Ok now I only use this as a general rule of thumb but usually this is a good marker for a worthwhile Anime. Most anime that are good to great have been Dubbed or are in line to be Dubbed. (Some subtlety is lost in Subs too FYI). So with knowing these I tend to get a list of fairly good anime which is filter Number One. Then I go with Filter Two which is Subs via word of mouth, I usually check with my buddy to find out if they are in line to be dubbed or not. Final Filter is simple actually is it visually appealing to me. I have made a few exceptions before but I usually go with this system and have not been disappointed often with the choices I have made.
So far these are the suggestions I have gotten which I have not seen or own:
Planetes ("hard" sci-fi, funny nevertheless)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (warning: over the top absurdiy)
Megas XLR (original in english + absurdity)

Black Lagoon (WARNING ! extremely violent!)
Vandread
Code Geass (at least the 1st series, second, kind of what the heck) -
Excel Saga (warning: absurdity)
