Thank you all for your thoughts and replies, I had completely forgotten about this thread and I am glad hannibalthecrow dug it up.
I have moved more towards the NASB recently, but still enjoy the NKJV. The NIV, not so much anymore. I have also discovered the NRSV recently, and am using it alongside the NASB and NKJV in my study. Still not sure what I think about it, but so far so good for the most part.

I've stuck with the Bible I was given by my church when I was a boy, the Revised Standard Version.

One of my old pastors used to say: "The translation you should read is the translation you will read!"

What the heck man? The Message made the cut, but the Billy Graham approved, one of the best paraphrases of all time known as The Living Bible never did? Anyway for preaching and teaching in the Youth Ministry I use the NLT and the NIV.

I love the NRSV. It's a word for word translation and has a nice balance between being readable and poetic. I also like the NIV, the NCV, and am taking a liking to the CEB despite some of it's quirkiness. (I find myself giggling whenever I read "Human One".)
Not too fond of the ESV since I found out about its political origins and political biases in translation in some areas. I still keep a copy for reference though.

It is very good! Reading it right now
They have "Wesleyan Core Term" notes throughout - for example, the one on the page I am on says "Wesleyan Core Term, Mind of Christ" - and then goes into Wesley's view on the topic.
