My church/denomination (A Presbyterian denomination mostly in Scotland, but my congregation is in North America) uses the KJV as the main Bible in the pulpit. Part of this is to have a standard translation throughout the churches (while the pastor uses other translations to clarify) and partly conviction, without being KJV-only.
We prefer the Byzantine tradition manuscripts to the Alexandrian tradition. The KJV is a good translation mainly based on the Byzantine tradition, with some more sticky cases. There isn't as much work being done with the Byzantine tradition these days, as most editions being published, whether evangelical or mainline, use the Alexandrian tradition texts primarily.
