@The Liturgist What's your opinion on the Peshitta which is used by Oriental Orthodox and even some Maronite Catholics?

I would love to own one, but I don't know where to order it.

A different user here but Gorgias Press, with the blessing of the Syriac Patriarch of Antioch, has released the Antioch Bible New Testament translated from the Peshitta. They are also currently in the process of translating the Peshitta Old Testament.

How many books of the Old Testament does it have? I know the syriac church has the most books in its canon.

ESV is the one I trust most. I don't know which one I trust least. I just stick with the couple translations I find trustworthy.

It’s the Ethiopians who have the biggest canon. I believe Syriacs have roughly the same canon as Eastern Orthodoxy with a few extra Psalms.

I have heard of that. If I am not mistaken, the Ethiopians have 80 Bible books or something along those lines.
