Most modern translations have known benefits and weaknesses, so the one you
pick is largely a matter of taste, albeit with a bit of politics mixed in.
The KJV, on the other hand, is perhaps the least accurate translation.  So
while I am hesitant to endorse an off-site script doing the picking, using
the KJV because it's (arguably) PD is like using EB 1911.   It's hard to
read up on the Rwandan genocide when your source thinks that Kigali is in
German East Africa.
