Best translation for note taking?

Hi! I currently have a NLT Bible and it’s the only one I own. It was my first Bible and I love the translation. Lately, I’ve been reading on the Bible app and taking notes there but I’d really like to have a Bible with wider margins to take notes in.

To me, it seems silly to buy a second NLT Bible, so I was thinking of buying a different translation for note taking purposes. I’m mostly seeing KJV versions with the wide margins, but I’m not sure I prefer that translation. If you had to have two translations, which would you choose/ suggest?

NLT and what else?

Any help is appreciated
