The reason for this apparent preference is mostly historical.Freemasons prefer the King James Version.
How long has the King James Bible been around...?
What Bible are most men used to and familiar with?
However, when "putting on degrees", whatever-holy-book-is-meaningful-to-the-candidate is used --- so as to create in the candidate the greatest impression possible that they are truly bound to their oath. ( i.e. -- If the candidate follows Islam, then a Koran is used. )
And, of course, to help the candidate to feel more comfortable about the validity of what they are going through...
