I do actually have a lot of say in voice actors, but in this case it was out of our control. Shenanigans meant we could only have Greg Ellis for a smaller role-- so Cullen it was. It didn't bother me on the whole, as I like Cullen and having both characters present was going to be an issue no matter what, but in this case it's simply how the cookie crumbled.
Also I like Howden better so~ whatever. But there you have it.
Although I really liked Ellis and occasionally get a pang when talking to Cullen, I think overall I prefer Howden. First playthrough I was all - run up to Cullen with Anders and saying 'see see this is how you should sound, Anders.' But going back to Awakening briefly the other day I found myself running up to Constable Aiden and going 'see see that's how you should sound, Anders." LOL confusing the hell out of the poor guy 
I was very similar, on my first play through whenever I spoke to Cullen I would get a pang (which is funny to me as while I really liked Anders in Awakening, I wasn't emotionally attached to him at all, I was still all about Alistair at that point

) and then be like "Why don't you sound like him???" at Anders. Now, when I speak to Cullen I just don't hear that voice as being Anders anymore, it's just not him in my mind.
I do still love Greg Ellis's voice though (*swoon*), there's just something about it. I do hope that if Cullen comes back in DA3 (which I'm optimistic about) that he'll be an LI (which I'm also optimistically hopeful about, while cute in DAO, he got one heck of a makeover in DA2...). I think playing a character being romanced by his dulcet tones would be just... oh my.
