I am going to start watching the Fate series and I want to know whether to watch it sub or dub. I prefer English dubs but I don't mind subs if the voice acting is better. Let me know!

Personally, the sub is infinitely more well rounded, however, the dub has some stand outs such as Crispin Freeman as Kirei or Jamieson Price as Iskandar. Ultimately I'd suggest sub for consistency across media and dub for a rewatch (if you like Zero enough).

Edit: If you like Iskandar enough (not Zero- trust me, the distinction is important)

tbh just watch whatever you feel like watching doesn't matter if its dub or sub, its up to your discretion but to answer your question
fate/stay night + UBW + HF are pretty good in dub
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma illya is better in sub
and Fate/grand order is pretty good in dub to imo
also The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II can go both ways

Sub outperforms dub 95% of the time for me, but you do whichever you like, man.

Not gonna lie man, I'd always recommend everyone to watch the sub as always, event though fate series is somewhat dialogue based, I'd still recommend to watch sub as it possesses much better intense and emotion than what dub does, go watch sub, logically speaking if a Hollywood movie got dubbed on japanese or an anime got dubbed on english, always watch sub.

It has a pretty good dub, but I’ll say sub because Saber’s “Excalibur” shout sounds much better. The dub didn’t capture that moment well.

Zero’s dub is incredible, but if you’re planning to watch the rest of the series afterward I’d recommend the sub because the Stay Night dubs aren’t nearly as good.

idk man, there's no rule stating that the imitation can't surpass the original. :)

Both are great, i watched in both. I would recommend you to watch in both if you have time or choose Dub.

if you normally prefer english dubs definitely watch the dub, sub supremacists will tell you otherwise just because they think its how all anime should be watched

dub is really good. I'd recommend watching the dub as it makes binge-watching easier.

Sub will always be subjectively better because it retains the original voices and VAs’ expressions. But you can go dub if you prefer not having to always looking at the screen to understand what’s going on, and it’s your preference.

Just never watch dub for real life shows, because that’s just stupid. The voices don’t even match the mouth movements half the time, unlike animated shows.

sub, purely because the English cast isn't consistent throughout unlike the Japanese cast

Is that meant to be intentionally incoherent, misspelt and out of order? Or is that how you actually think the series goes?
Well I for one already loved Lain.

I intentionally made the img this way. I wanted to make an intro for newcomers in fate franchise.
The idea for correct watch order in is a controversial one and baffles the people wanting to get into franchise.
I oversimplified the timeline to make it less intimidating cuz

The timeline of fateverse(nasuverse) is really complex.
Simplification does not do justice but that wasn't my goal to begin with.

The error you're making is that "the timeline" is not the correct way to go into the franchise. /Zero is to be read after /hollow ataraxia, which comes after /stay night, and absolutely none of those are best experienced through adaptations.

The correct watch order is not a complex issue at all, it only became so because of others making the same mistake as you did, assuming that going through the series in some pastiche of chronological order is at all valid. In attempting to rectify the conflict, you've perpetuated it.
Well I for one already loved Lain.
