What Bible Translation Do You Use?

Title says all. (I'm not very good at topic openers.)

I personally use the King James Version, because I was trained to use it in Bible Drill (after a year with NIV) and to me, it's the translation I'm the most comfortable with using. What translation(s) do you use?

ESV or NASB for exegesis, NIV for reading the books David and his son wrote, NLT for content reading.

I read the NKJV for just reading, because that's what translation the bible I had received as a gift uses.  The Bible quiz program I'm a part of uses the NIV (currently the 1984 version), so I use that a lot.

ESV FTW.

Hated NLV. NIV's acceptable, but NKJV is quite good.

I love HCSB (Holman Christian Standard Bible) especially the footnotes in my Student Edition. Really like ESV as well, but haven't actually bought one yet =/ And King James is a great comparison when studying!

My wife and I started reading through about a week ago and we chose to read from the NKJV.  I usually read from NIV when I read on my own.  For study I like grabbing a dynamic translation and a literal translation for comparison.
