I find it useful to have access to the NIV + other versions, and in particular the ESV, so I use two sites online: Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/ and the ESV's own site: http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/

I have been using the ESV and really have come to like it. Great version, readable but still very accurate. Kind of a blend between NASB and NIV maybe....lol.

I use the "New Revised Standard" but you only had "Revised Standard" listed. I wonder how many might have not voted or left that one blank. The two are different. I like it because the committee that did the version was pretty diverse - coming from a number of conservative as well as moderate (and maybe one or two liberal) seminaries/universities. Diversity is what we are as Christians. I use that one mostly for the study bible, but I like to go to The Message for youth ministry stuff and reading.

Gotta agree with Ed, ESV is not only a great one because of content, but they have an awesome website as well as an awesome mobile site so you can quick reference something when you get pinned by a student.
