Generally there are two kinds: Word-for-Word, i.e. its very accurate translation but can be a bit wooden and difficult to read. The other kind, Though-for-Thought, where the editors/scholars captured the original idea and translated it into a language that the modern day lay person can understand. Which is better depends on you and your needs. My suggestion is to start with a Thought-for-Thought version and then move to a Word-for-Word kind of Bible later on.
