I understand that the NASB seemingly has more (more recently found) sources to translate from, and it does not look too bad.  At least this version still has the Strong's numbers for comparison.  So in that case, I would recommend it if one likes it (especially since it's the way we speak today similar to the NKJV). However, I can see somethings that brings forth questions, such as the 1995 version I find a passage where the word is singular and the 2020 version it's plural.  It's an important passage regarding the (eternally promised) throne of King David and that's pretty important.  Singular vs plural does not change the meaning of the word, per se, but intensifies the circumstances and I have to question why?  

If Strong's numbers are important to you, they are also available on the NASB 2020 version.  Singular versus plural is usually determined by the text and verbs used.  For example, look at Leviticus 19:4.

(Leviticus 19:4)  ‘Do not turn(H6437) to (R1)idols(H457) or make(H6213a) for yourselves cast(H4541a) metal(H4541a) (R2)gods(H430); I am the LORD (H3068) your God(H430).  [NASB 2020 w/Strong's numbers]

In this case, while most times the first mention of god is singular and the second mentioned in the same sentence plural.  But the text here clearly indicates the second mention of God should be singular, while the first mention should be plural referring to multiple pagan gods.  Both instances uses the same Hebrew Strong's number (H430).

The ESV also has Strong's numbers available.

If you want to go hog wild with study:

http://www.biblesoft.com/                it's kind of pricy but an awesome program with more study tools than a person has the time to use.

On my phone and tablet I use Bible Gateway to read.   I have used e-Sword in the past.

I also tried e-sword many moons ago as well as Logos, but Accordance is better and it comes with free mobile versions for owners.

LOL

I have The Word but find it somewhat redundant with e-Sword.  On my tablet, I use Bible Gateway to read.

I have been using e-Sword for many, many years.  I like the improvements they've made and the ability to load 3rd party modules.
