@sonoko: Yeah, Sonoko is great too! I also like how she usually tries to seem ladylike, especially around boys, and then she does the Kogoro laugh XD
I find her very cute in the later parts especially after she gets together with Makoto. Before that, she was quite irritating and much more of a plot device.

Agreed, though I suppose the main problem I have with the BOrg is how they murder so many people, yet nobody figured out any of their slip-ups aside from a few people dubbed 'silver bullets'?

I actually think the dub is okay. Don't get me wrong, the name changes are horrible, but there is just something I like about the dub. It might be because I watch it with my sister, so it's a good way for us to bond, but idk. I just like it.
I don't know if this is really an unpopular opinion, but more than half of the recent manga cases were flawed (almost all if I count minor flaws, too). The last BO developments seem flawed, too.

I did once for fun start from chapter 852 going 10 cases back and I remember I managed to find a flaw in most. I can't do it now as I don't remember those cases anymore (I did remember back then, because I read everything from Kudo Yusaku's cold case to chapter 852 in one go).
Anyway, I could find these examples:
Spoiler:
In the pickpocket case, if some random person could just make a pickpocket pickpocket them, the police would have done that long ago and caught the pickpocket (we're talking about a know and searched for pickpocket)
In the case about the food contest, I can't help but wonder why would the culprit lock the body in the fruit container? Doing something that nobody else can do certainly doesn't help him avoid suspicion. I understand when a trick provides a culprit with an alibi, but when it provides everyone alive with an alibi while also making it obvious it's not a suicide, that alibi is automatically busted.
The case before, the elevator suicide, it is hard to synchronize the four videos perfectly, but theoretically possible. Still, unless that woman who was supposed to witness the suicide was a ticking clock, I don't see how can you make the elevator go up exactly when she was waiting for it. If you're early, she would not witness anything. If you're late and she calls the elevator before you send it up, the elevator doors will open on the floor of the witness and the trick will be ruined right away.
The case with the tennis was more or less OK, but why didn't Conan wake up from the sound the murderer make when they committed the murder? And what was that strong vase that didn't break into a person's skull?
On the mystery train, the BO plotline, while it was reasonable to assume that Kaito Kid would have been on that train and be able to pose as Miyano Shiho, could Conan really bet her life on such a guess? Maybe he had a backup plan, but for completeness and consistency of the story we should hear what that backup plan was.
Ah, yes, and how did they put an unidentifiable body in the car that exploded so that the BO would not figure out Sherry is still alive?
Barring the extremely unlikely full Magic Kaitou/Conan crossover ideas, Spider alone is proof that whatever the anime would/will do with Magic Kaitou is likely more interesting and entertaining than what Gosho would do with it. And even if I'm wrong, Magic Kaitou should continue as is in anime form as it is the perfect contrast to Conan. Magic filled, illogical and wonderfully and unironically silly.

Spoiler:
Not sure about the rest of your examples, but I completely agree about the Mystery Train. This resolution wasn't well thought out, and Kaito Kid was just a device to conveniently solve the problem. The worst offense is that apparently Gosho later said in an interview that Kaito Kid won't be appearing in any more B.O. cases, so what was the point in including him in the first place (besides serving as a solution to a problem)?
