Hm... My personal favorite is the ESV, since I think it blends staying as true as possible to the original languages while still striving for modern readability.
The NIV is OK, even if there are some... Disagreements I have with it (like how they translate "sarx" as sin nature, not flesh).
The NASB is pretty true to the original languages, but I've found it a bit tough to read at times.
But yeah, I would say those are my top three versions right now.

Anyone know a place online where you can buy a KJV text only Bible?

The first bible I recommend when someone asks is Nelson's NKJV Study Bible. It has a concordance, dictionary, maps, and a topical index at the end. Each book has a separate introduction that gives you background on the author, the history, a timeline for the book, some insight into key points, and an outline. The center column references are at the bottom of the page with the study notes so that the text columns could be widened for easier reading. There's almost too much information sometimes.
Second recommendation is Zondervan's NASB Study Bible, for most of the reasons listed above.
I also like my "Today's Parallel Bible". It has the King James, NIV, New Living, and NASB printed side-by-side.
But the most important thing to remember is that the best bible you can buy is the one that you can most easily understand, regardless of what all the "experts" will tell you. So go out and look, read, and hold one in your hands before you buy.

Yeah I guess I shouldn't get caught up in being a KJV onlyist type of person. I really like the NKJV.
