I'm really curious about what scanlated series you find to be higher quality translations (I'm not trying to be snarky--it's a serious question since it seems to me that in general licensed translations are usually much higher quality, though I also have found a few exceptions).

In my experience: Shaman King, regarding the quality of the translation. Which is a shame because I harbor a secret hate for the scanlation group, and was disappointed that the official translation seemed to have dumbed things down. I found that some things were translated so vaguely that the meaning was hard to understand, or lost its punch.

Maiden Rose is one, more from a story perspective than a technical one (the scanlator admits to not being the most proficient). Explanation here: http://fandomsecrets.livejournal.com/826117.html?thread=516891909#t516891909

Kind of on a tangent here, but I have noticed that sort of thing with fansubbed anime. I can't speak to the accuracy of the translations, but there's a fair amount of officially translated anime with say, bad English grammar, not translating important background text, etc. It also seems a lot of times that the fansubs have like...more personality, I guess? Even though that may come from slightly fudged translations.
