Best Bible version for study?

I am going to reread the Bible again. I’ve read it in King James Version a couple of times. I would like to do a different version this time, I heard that the New Revised Standard Version was good for study because it was accurate with translations. Not sure where I heard it from though.
What Bible version is your personal favorite? Which one do you think is the most accurate in terms of translation? Is there a specific version that is best for studying?

When I was a Christian I had "The Book"

It read just like a novel in plain English.

Are you under the impression that the Jerusalem Bible is the only translations that contains footnotes and other study material?

I don't doubt there are other translations with footnotes.
I bought the written Jerusalem bible some time ago based on recommendation because those footnotes have been verified trough several revisions and have been written by Dominicans which I consider trust worthy source.

Regarding translations I'm careful, for me only catholic translations are acceptable, so that's 1 additional plus for the Jerusalem bible.
