What version of the Bible is the best edition?

I was thinking maybe: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1565639774/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1449697798&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=interlinear+bible&dpPl=1&dpID=41nRw4bkE7L&ref=plSrch because it contains the Hebrew, Greek and (the most accurate) English translations.

But at the same time the KJV is apparently the most beautiful to read.

And the Good News version I read as a kid had this cool summary at the beginning of each book giving a run down of its history and what it's about and sources to important prayers and verses in each book.

Help me a brother out /lit/lads.

KJV or NKJV
Eastern Orthodox Bible

Just a matter of taste. You can google all the versions and see which sounds better to you. In terms of accuracy they all have flaws and are ambiguous since we don't have original documents to compare them to

RSV-2CE is the finest translation. KJV and Douay-Rheims are the best literature. Better yet, learn Latin and read the Vulgate.

Depends on what you want it for.
KJV is known to not be the most accurate translation but NKJV accounts for some of that.
I personally use NRSV but that's for studying purposes.
