I usually avoid redubs, but I'm rewatching Evangelion's first two episodes on a loop to make an analysis, and I'm using the English version for practical reasons - screenshots without subtitles and following it without looking. And Misato's new voice, by Carrie Keranen, is pretty good! There's a playful melody to it that fits the character very well and contrasts with her more aggressive and introspective moments.
Sadly, I cannot say the same about the other characters. Many of the most important Evangelion lines require a certain mix of apathy and despair that only Grungie-nineties seems able to convey. And Shinji's new voice is just a childish reminder of that (I'm comparing with Japanese and Portuguese. I never saw the first English dub).

It can be a little-known product or a recommendation--whatever you deem fit, as long as it improves quality of life, productivity, or satisfaction.
