Dragonball was excellent. A much lighter and more humorous tone that DBZ so if you like that go for it.
I think the best thing about it is that because the power levels are so much lower, everything is so much slower which means you get to see real Kung Fu choreography in the fight sequences and far more dangeer since they're not so OP.
The end fight with Piccolo and Goku is in my opinion the best of BOTH series, DB and DBZ
