Depends on the circumstances.
Personally I don't care either way as long as it's a straightforward dump and not some LJBF bullshit.

Fine. 
I'd probably rather be dumped. Mostly because I don't believe in "dumping" people without trying the hardest you can to salvage the relationship. At least that way I know where I stand.

Pfeh. For a guy, you lose either way.
I agree.
1) "Is it better to go ahead and dump her before she dumps me, or just wait for the inevitable?"
In Situation 1, it's a question of which option I choose. Either way, I'm in the wrong (or precieved to be in the wrong). My call would be to go ahead and break it off, as I can't see much gain from letting the relationship die a lingering death. And who knows, we might work things out (though that outcome would be outside the bounds of the original question).
In the second, I get to choose which circumstances I'm in, but not which decision I make because of it. I've written and erased this sentence about four times now, to the point where I think being the betrayed is as bad as being the betrayer. For pure gloating purposes I suppose I'd prefer to have the moral high ground, but that's about like saying I'd rather die in the mushroom cloud than the lingering radiation.
Hoo-wee I am full of the happy now
No, Really. Bite me.

I totally agree, I think if someone dumps you they are doing you a favor. They stop wasting your time and save you the trouble of ending a relationship that more than likely was doomed to fail.
However, if your relationship is based on just sex, then being dumped sucks. 
Edit - Elaboration: I can't stand to hurt people who I know, and care about in some way. I'd rather get hurt myself. [ 08-14-2003: Message edited by: Black Mage ]
Dumping is hard if you still dig someone...but 90% of the time you do it, it's easier. Especially if the person you're dumping is psycho. My ex was a fucking nutjob, and was getting more and more deranged and nasty with every passing minute. Felt good dumping her. Felt like I jumped clear of a car about to hit a wall. On the other hand, when Candace and I broke up last, and I pretty much made the choice for everyone that I'd leave, and thus technically dumped her, it was the hardest choice I ever had to make, even though I knew it was the right thing for everyone at the time.
So I would say that most of the time, being the dumper is easier than being the dumpee. Taking responsibility for ending a longtime relationship is a terribly difficult thing to do.

Not that I have much of a problem with her

I like dumping the guy if I know the fucker deserved it. Like if he cheated on me and I caught him, or lied to me about something pretty big, and I caught him doing that.
If he thinks that the attraction just doesn't seem there anymore, while I'm oblivious to the way he feels -- I'd rather have him dump me. Don't be a fucking dick and "wait it out" until I get the hint that you're no longer interested.
If I think the attraction just isn't there anymore, and he seems oblivious to the way I feel (this is what sucks!!), I have to tell him in the nicest way I can that things just aren't working out.
Should've said something, but I've said it enough
By the way my words were faded
Rather waste some time with you...
I usually stay friends with former boyfriends. Except the asshole who cheated on me.

I know, but people could make the "mistake" on purpose just to get a crack at you, not the relationship(most people seem to like deth), just you(Ive seen alot of people get mad at you for various acts of whatever)

That was STILL a good movie.
