I presume you're asking about churches which are outside the Continental Reformed traditions (e.g. outside the RCA/CRC/URCNA/OCRC/CanRef/RCUS denominations, which derive from that branch of Reformed Christendom).
Those denominations will all hold to the 3FU for historical reasons (and since they wouldn't necessarily agree that the Westminster Standards represent an improvement). Similarly, churches deriving from Scottish Presbyterian roots will all hold the WCF (though not necessarily would all agree that the Westminster Standards are necessarily an improvement).
