The NASB-77 currently.

I agree with you on that, as my go to translation would be that version.

The Nas has not gone full blown into trying to blur the gender differences between men and women, as both the NRSV and Niv 2011 did, and it appears to be very accurate to the original Greek texts, in this case being the Critical Greek text.
I also like the NKJV, for the same reason of being very accurate to its source text used in the translation.
