Melkites, on the other hand, seem to use whatever version the celebrant or reader prefers, or which happens to by laying around--though none that I have noticed seem to favor the NAB. And anything which restricts the use of the NAB is, in my opinion, a Good Thing.

The Alleluia Press Gospel and Epistle books use the Confraternity Version, as did the book of readings arranged by Fr. Grigassy of which a few copies are still floating around. I suspect these would be the most commonly encountered translations. Orthodox use the KJV, NKJV, and RSV. My cromulent posts embiggen this forum.
