Came here to recommend the RSV with the others. It's my primary Bible. Oxford still sells the 1977 RSV edition of the New Oxford Annotated Bible. The notes are solid, though not as contemporary as the latest scholarship, they'll do fine. For a study Bible it's also a surprisingly handy size (not compact, but not a cinderblock like other study bibles). This is the most common edition of the RSV available.

My favorite edition of the RSV is a compact version of the RSV-Catholic Edition published by Oxford. It looks like this. Don't know whether the smaller print will bother you but I enjoy it.

You said in this thread you like pew hardback Bibles - the American Bible Society published one of the RSV. Out of print unfortunately, but they look like this - a plain black or maroon book with "The Bible" on the cover. Sometimes you can find cheap ones on EBay.

Other new editions of the RSV are harder to find. Catholic publishers like Ignatius Press and Saint Benedict Press continue to publish new editions of the RSV Catholic Edition, which is virtually identical to the RSV and includes a chart of the differences in an appendix. Ignatius also has an "RSV 2nd Catholic Edition" which modernizes thees/thous and is designed to reflect more Catholicism.

Oxford published a 50th Anniversary edition of the RSV, in both hardcover and leather, but it's rare and thus expensive unfortunately.

I use the Orthodox Study Bible. It has the standard 73 books and 3 more that make up the Orthodox Canon. It has commentary from the early Church Fathers as well.

We use the RSV with expanded Deuterocanon at my Parish for Bible study. Example. That means that it has the Roman Catholic and full Eastern Orthodox Canon plus II Esdras and IV Maccabees (which is part of the Georgian Orthodox Canon).

You might be interested in the NRSVCE, RSVCE, or RSV2CE.
