what's your preferred dish soap

I highly doubt it. That episode from Dexter's lab where Dee Dee is rubbing a glass against a plate with spaghetti on it is probably doing a better job at cleaning than a fucking dishwashing machine. I will never eat from a dish that's been cleaned in a dishwashing machine I'll rewash it myself by hand. It only takes like 10 seconds to wash a dish. Dishwashing machines are okay for loosening grime but they're not a good final solution.
I'm also talking out of my ass but I bet I'm correct.
Hand washing does not get all of the germs, it just gets all of the food bits off. A dishwasher does not always get all of the food bits off. How well of a job it does varies on how good of a dishwasher you have and how clean the dishes looked going in. What kills the germs is the heat of the dishwasher and you don't get that from hand washing.
If you want fully clean dishes you need to do both.

I can agree with the "you need to do both" part (that would be ideal, I'll concede on that) but foodstuff is still gross even if it's sanitized and if I had to pick one over the other I'd pick handwashing. Also I don't buy your anecdotal dishwasing experience implying dishsoap and hot water somehow magically fail to kill germs when they're not mechanized. Furthermore I'm not obligated to explain my irrational hatred for dishwashing machines so it was a bad idea for me to try to argue about it in the first place.
Maybe you buy different dish soap than me but the bottle of AJAX I have makes no claims about killing germs. Soap's primary job is to loosen foodstuff off of the dish and wash away grease (which water does not do). If it doesn't say antibacterial then it probably isn't.
That said I don't even own enough dishes to warrant running a dishwasher so I just hand wash everything.
