読み方 割合
にいぼん 85.7%
あらぼん 14.3%
しんぼん only in nikk, and oukoku with a reference to にいぼん; [rk]
あらぼん is in most references
Interestingly 新盆・にいぼん has 0 hits in BCCWJ (though 3 in CEJC) compared to 35 for 新盆・あらぼん.
新盆・しんぼん has 0 as expected.
Yet references seem more inclined towards にいぼん, with frequency data from JPDBv2 also pointing towards it.
Leaving those two be for now
