I personally don't care what they use, as long as it's consistent.

Back to the original post, I'd have to say to some degree, whether a narrator was "good" or "bad" would be subjective.

Not always. I've listened to a book (can't remember which one it was...), or rather tried to listen, but it was so badly narrated, in a monotone, that I just couldn't hear where one sentence ended and the next one started.
