What is your favorite translation of a Buddhist text ?

Translations on Accesstoinsight are pretty accurate I am reliability advised. I would tend to go for accuracy rather than charm or poetic licence myself, so their translations do it for me...
You should work for a newspaper @PremaSagar - that was a very enticing subject header to get me into your post! :-b
Like @federica above, Access to insight, when I'm on the net.
Otherwise, I have a soft spot for the oldies: Max Müller, F.L. Woodward, T.W. Rhys Davids, I.B. Horner, Fausböll, Paul Carus and Edward Conze.
They're my staples.
