Well, let's start a letter writing campaign to Zondervan and convince them to introduce a NASB Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible (that would about be the perfect study Bible)!
The congregation I serve uses the NIV so that is what I currently use on the occassions that I am called upon to preach. There was a point where a decision was made to move to a modern translation from the AV which was being used for the lectionary readings. I had hoped to shift towards the ESV but most all use the NIV so that is what we ended up with.
As far as what I use to study with, it is a toss up between the ESV and NASB. I have a ESV RSB but I find myself frequently drifiting back to the NASB (which I've never really found cumbersome to read). I suppose this is because the NASB was the version I was introduced to when I came to the reformed faith making this the version I cut my reformed teeth on.
