Good day guys, I see tons of versions of Calvin's institutes but I'm not sure which one to choose. Any suggestions?

Richard Muller recommends the older Allen translation. Not in print, but you can find it online as a pdf.
I like "reading" McNeill-Battles version and "listening" to Beveridge version.

Mcneill is the 2 volume set in Logos, correct?There are 3 major editions of the Institutes:
The McNeill edition, https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0664220282/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr= This is a standard academic edition. It is a little wooden in its translation when compared to Beveridge.
The Beveridge edition, https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1598...=WG84Q9Q8G16Q06FHWH5S&dpPl=1&dpID=51qfyACR1iL I think this one reads much more easily than McNeill, though I wouldn't suggest using it in an academic context.
And the new Banner of Truth edition, https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1848...=N3Z6Z3G1HDFRCX91Q65T&dpPl=1&dpID=81IpNC5FiTL I don't have a copy of this one, so I can't speak to its usefulness; but it has received very good reviews online.

I'm reading the Allen one right now on pdf (I picked it up from archive.org) and I have enjoyed it.
That is all right... Think that the 2 volume set is the one most found being sold then, correct?I don't have Logos, brother. Sorry I can't be of more help. Anyone else able to answer this one?
