*ponders* Well, I guess I'm biased 'cause through uni I watched XTAS and Cal Dodd will always be the voice of Wolverine for me. :) (That, and I'll happily watch Hugh Jackman be Wolverine, 'cause IMO he really nailed it.)
Don't get me wrong, SB is a good VA, but he doesn't stick out in my mind as especially awesome. I expect that's largely because he's done so much anime dubbing. Big roles, but I don't watch dubbed anime, so I've missed the bulk of his work. He's done a lot of 'additional voices' type stuff for several games I've played in the last ten years or so, but again nothing majorly memorable. (One thing, though - the Cowboy Bebop dub was pretty decent, but I love the voice of the guy who does the original Spike too much to watch in English. ^^)
Your pal Scott McNeil, OTOH, is someone whose work I've had ample opportunities to enjoy, and his performances have stayed with me. I didn't watch X-Men Evo enough to get a feel for his Wolverine, but I'd definitely be willing to listen, 'cause he's so good at so many voices!
