The Bount arc had some pretty suitable voices in the English dub, and they got a largely new voice actor (in general) to voice Sawatari (the old guy). Szayel Aporro Granz also got a new guy new to the voice acting business; though, everyone thought it was a veteran's voice actor at first (he really does sound like the guy everyone thought he was).

Ulquiorra's English dub was actually released first in the video game Shattered Blade, and he was voiced by Steven Jay Blum (you probably know this much). When the he debutted in the anime finally, I was pissed off at first. Blum IS a good voice actor. But I can honestly say, Ulquiorra's English anime voice is actually pretty good too (some people think it's more suitable, since he sounds younger than Blum's Ulquiorra). I personally would have kept Blum as Ulquiorra (which would require making Bleach into union dub), but at this point, Ulquiorra's current voice is still pretty good.

Who knows? The Spanish dub might give him a good voice when it gets there. If it's that far behind, it may be due to some licensing or distribution issues. I guess it really depends on the distributor.
