I personally always read scanlations, because I'm waaaaay too impatient to wait for the (generally slow) US releases. And I don't generally trust manga localizing teams to do a good job (although Del Ray did a completely awesome job with Fairy Tail, I must admit).
Well, i doubt Fairy Tail will keep to One Piece levels of sanity. The real reason for One Piece fandom being so sane is that there's pretty much no ship wars at all. This is due to the manga being a completely romance-free zone. I mean yeah, there's not exactly a lot of romance stuff going on in FairyM Tail either, but at the same time Fairy Tail's creator hasn't specifically said in response to a reader question that all the characters were already in love...with adventure.
Since nobody's ship is going to be canon, there's little in the way of jealousy or ship rivalry. Keeps everything sane and balanced.
