depends on the film, if its an rarity, and there's no way to get a source without hard subs, I'm not too fussy; everything else I won't download personally. That's not to say people won't want them of course. I would voice similar concerns to wargand, forced/hard subs are the worst way to go, can't you have softsubs in xvVCDs in anyway? Secondly, I have the capability of playing mpeg4 so don't bother with MPEG2 beyond dvds, unless as said, the no choice factor comes into play
However, there'd be no point in me getting movies like the hellraisers in that format, I have them in mpeg4 and will have the first 3 on DVD so wouldn't want to downgrade
Same goes for anything widely available in more preferable formats (DVD/DVDr/mpeg4)
If you get some rarity though, I'd be game, as long as its rare and not available in any other format. I'd only go for something hardsubbed when it lacked total availability, like many of kofs and a few of STR releases (which have dutch/turkish/whatever subs) and the only ones available had the subs encoded.
However, if you have the source without subs, and are super imposing them into the video, then no its not my personal preference, I'd prefer the original
I don't know about other people though

Unless its mpeg4, and then you can sometimes get very close (of course re-encoding is a lossy procedure, but I've had some great 1cd rips in the past with a clean source)
