Lamsa seems to have done a fair amount of editing his text using the KJV as a base, rather than a straight translation work...which I think is a misjudgment on his part.
I say all from the Aramaic text, both NT & OT...no Greek texts, as we have many Greek/English Bibles to read...no need for another one I say.

Thirdwoe:
I have talked to one of the WEB translators by email before, and he said it is actually based off the Hodges-Farstad 1985 and the Robinson-Pierpont text (either 1995 or 2005). Yes, the WEB is derived from the ASV ("Alexandrian" text-type), but it has been conformed to the Byzantine tradition.
