For listening, there's nothing wrong with the NIV.

For study, I prefer the ESV, NASB, or NKJV.

Not everyone believes in the "KJV Only" idea. I certainly do not, and I have spent a very good amount of time studying it.

Starting on page one I began to count the differesnt recomendations each with it's own supporters and reasons. I stopped at 12. May I be so bold as to suggest this- pray and ask God which He would have you read and study. I have really enjoyed the many " flavours " of God's Word that I have read over the years and I cannot say I wasn't blessed, moved and changed by each one.

It is a full King James Version, but it also contains margin and tabulated "companion" notes about word meanings in the original languages an well as historically verifyable time lines of certain Biblical happenings and also contains 198 Appendixes in the rear of the Bible that will help you with your studies and give you a much better understanding of God's Word than just a King James Version alone. Thank you.
Pastor Gary, I was looking in my Churches Book shop yesterday and saw they have a Companion Bible in there. Definately going to be looking at getting this. Thanks.

The easiest way to settle that is to read them all.

Good idea.
IMO it helps a lot to have more than one translation on hand. I have 3 different translations (NAB, NRSV and NKJV) plus one NAB study edition. And then I use biblegateway.com. Can't go wrong for covering all your bases.

I don’t know if I have a favorite.
I have the…
KJV
NKJV
NIV Quest study Bible
NKJV Spirit Filled Student Bible
KJV Study Bible
KJV (from 1900) that one has the pronunciation of a lot of words right in the text. That helps for the names a lot.
NLT Life Recovery Bible
I can see a couple more up on the bookshelf. One is a KJV, don’t remember the other.

It all depends on the mood for the day.

The NIV has changed iniquity to sin or sins over 118 times. That has oversimplified it to make it easier reading, but has not given us a clear understanding of iniquity.

Just my two cents.
Blessings

Get E-Sword. I can cross compare 50 translations at the click of a mouse- a great free ware study tool:
e-Sword - the Sword of the LORD with an electronic edge
