The majority of churches, whether we're talking Reformed or more broadly evangelical, favor the Critical Text, and not the TR or Majority/Byzantine text. (That's not to say they're necessarily right.) Those who do favor the TR or Byzantine text use either the KJV or NKJV.

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great
virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
