This is a highly subjective question since the answer depends on the study needs of the individual reader.
Most Christian sects favour 'their' one version over all others for various reasons.
There is no direct answer to this question, as - when any text is being translated from dead languages - there is no living speaker to question regarding the best way to translate a given word.

Whose Bible is the true version?
A:There is no one 'true' version of the Bible. All Christian Bibles reflect the errors and interpolations (later insertions by unknown authors) that crept into the scriptures over time. They all largely rely on the Septuagint for their reading of the Hebrew Bible, thus incorporating the translation errors inherent to the Septuagint. Among English translations of the Bible: The King James Version (KJV) is the most popular Bible among Protestants, but this was a compromise. King James told his scholars to keep the Bible consistent with the earlier Bishop's Bible as far as possible. The Authorised Version of the KJV uses italics to mark text that is not a literal translation of what the scholars believed to be the original, or where they were unsure of the correct translation. It is also known to contain further translation errors.The Revised Standard Version (RSV) was an American revision of the Authorised King James Version, remaining faithful to its antecedent where possible. Despite the occasionally stilted Bible English, some say it was the best Bible for study purposes.The NRSV is an ecumenical version that has replaced the RSV. Its language is more inclusive, with less old English, but it is considered a less literal translation.

In 1989 he said: "This work reflects an honest endeavor to achieve an understanding of the text that is as accurate as possible. . . . I have never discovered in the New World Translation any biased intent to read something into the text that it does not contain." *** w04 12/1 p. 30 A "Remarkably Good" Translation *** A "Remarkably Good" Translation ACCORDING to one count, as many as 55 new English translations of the Christian Greek Scriptures were published between 1952 and 1990. Translators' choices mean that no two read alike.

The result? While critical of some of its translation choices, BeDuhn called the New World Translation a "remarkably good" translation, "better by far" and "consistently better" than some of the others considered. Overall, concluded BeDuhn, the New World Translation "is one of the most accurate English translations of the New Testament currently available" and "the most accurate of the translations compared."-Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New Testament. ***[Footnote] Besides the New World Translation, the others were The Amplified New Testament, The Living Bible, The New American Bible With Revised New Testament, New American Standard Bible, The Holy Bible-New International Version, The New Revised Standard Version, The Bible in Today's English Version, and King James Version.
