I have read the New American Standard Bible, The New King James Version, and the American Standard Version. Though I started off reading the NIV84, which is no longer found on biblegateway.com, I commonly use the King James Version though I also use the English Standard Version as well.
I do basically prefer the King James Version most of the time though I will use other translations once in a while so therefore most often I read the King James Version.
I prefer the version that is directly from the original source. Eliminates the errors and deliberate additions and it is so much easier to understand exactly what God is wanting of us.
The New World Translation is in today English. It takes away the old wordage, as in the KJV, and makes concentrating on the word easier. <snip>
The word, "Jehovah", is mentioned several times at least in the Old Testament in the King James Version and it also appears in the 1901 American Standard Version.

I use the NWT the most for it's references and it takes the best from all other Bible translations as well as focus on the message of God.
Yet I many times use biblehub.com to view a passage in many translations to get a better understanding. Like Proverbs 6:19 describes things that God hates. There are many different translations but I find that the NIV captures it the best.
...things that the LORD hates... a person who stirs up conflict in the community." Proverbs 6:16-19 (NIV)
Most of my study and reading is the ESV, but I do preach from the NASB. I use it because I have not been able to find a large-print ESV that I like. I prefer to use a large print Bible to preach out of -- it's just easier to look down and find the text in a moment when I'm preaching.

I mostly use NASB for it's accuracy. Also use ESV, NKJV and The Message.
