What is the best version of the textus receptus?

Hi Josh,
I have these in my library. I think at one point they may have had different morphology schemes, but they are now all Logos Greek. This helps with comparisons.
The Strong's version is NOT recommended as it is not morphologically tagged. Unless you need to tie to Strong's I would not recommend it.
I like the BYZ as it is the most modern, but it is "Majority Text". It makes for interesting comparisons with the other texts.
It really depends on what you want to use the text for and what dated version you prefer. If you want to see a comparison of a particular verse or pericope, let me know.
I am not a Greek expert, so others may have better advise for you.

John is right. There are several editions of the Textus Receptus (with slight differences). The editions that are available in Logos are listed in the following reading list:

According to information on the website of the Trinitarian Bible Society there are 283 differences between the Scrivener text and the Stephanus 1550 edition:

What do you mean by "best version"? The most authentic version? The best version in terms of Logos features?
For the first, I suppose that would be Stephen's 1550 Textus Receptus. But I use the Scrivener 1881 edition because it has the best range of filters—Discourse Features (Greek), Propositional Outlines, etc. The Scrivener is a Textus Receptus that was reverse-engineered from the KJV.
