King James and New King James are the best for beauty of language. I also use NIV and most recently ESV. The church I belong to uses NASB, the church I work for uses NRSV. You can skip God's Word (except as a supplement) and TNIV. The Living Bible (the one from the 70's) is good if you have never read the bible before but then move on to more 'meatier' versions. I do not like The Message.

Apocrypha?
The first Bible in print in the 1400's contained 7
"extra" books compared to the Protestant's. Even
those contained these books in the rear section into
the 20th century. They are referred to in the New
Testament Scriptures. They are quoted by the Early
Church fathers, and also so happen to contain
passages that "support" the Catholic, Martin Luther
wanted to remove the book of James, which I have
read in depth, History says that he approved the
Protestant "canon", removed these 7 books, which
current Protestants claim were added by the
Catholic, but History is very clear that they were
not added, but in fact removed.
