It just depends.

My current display is a small 34" direct view CRT.

I don't mind the bars that much - I don't LIKE them...but I tend to forget about them after a couple minutes of viewing. I hate my stretch modes. Just can't do them.

For normal TV viewing and 4:3 films in English I often use the 14:9 expand, which shaves a bit off the top and bottom but not much. This may or may not work with subtitles - just depends where they are placed in the frame.

For widescreen subtitles I love to use the "subtitle" feature on my TV where I can move them and the frame up or down. I have a Panny RP91 so I can scale 4:3 DVDs to OAR.

There is no perfect solution so you just gotta select what you can live with.
