Grew up in the Catholic Church and learned basic rules and history but nothing more. Early 20's joined Baptist Church where KJ was used but NIV was my choice because I understood everything I was reading where KJ left me baffled as to what was being written.
I have read both KJ and NIV cover to cover and NIV is where I learned about Christianity. Spent years teaching Sunday School and used both to explain lessons.
Criticism of NIV was a few verses omitted for the most part but not understanding the language in KJ would have left me without a clue.
I think it's more important to find a version of the Bible that is easiest for you to read and understand. The best translation in the world is useless if you can't make sense of it. Once one becomes more knowledgeable about Christian principles, then one can consider switching to a different version.
To me, it's most important that you find something that you will actually read and use. One can worry about the subtle differences later.
