I would personally prefer the Buddhist chants in their native Asian languages, just because I'm a big traditionalist when it comes to Buddhism. A lot of western Buddhism doesn't go over well with me, but I am learning to be less closed minded about it.

"Intone, O my servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul and attract the hearts of all men."

-- Baha'u'llah
