If you're looking for a draw, I'd say 1...c5 is definitely the best. That's what I play. Remember that symmetrical openings are particularly prone to being draws (Petroff, Four Knights, Exchange French, Queen's Gambit Declined, etc.), so playing symmetrically in the English also tends to lead toward a draw.
If you're looking for a win, somebody else should answer. 
How about
1.c4 Nf6
2.Nc3 e6
3.e4 d5
4.e5 d4
Its a safe, low-theory way to play the Nimzo-English.
.
1 c4 d5 2 cxd5 c6 3 dxc6 Nxc6 4 Nc3 e5
well someone playing 1c4 isnt going to give you a nimzo indian...almost no chance...so dont dream of that.
I always had issues with 1c4 myself and i think its because i was trying to be overly transpositional. I just switched to 1...e5 with soon ...f5 and that did the trick for me.
I quite like this idea :). I selected two lines. Both aren't too theoretical and look fun to play.
1. c4 e5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Nf3 f5 4. d4 e4 5. Ng5 Bb4
Here, white cannot arrange to recapture at c3 with a piece, because the queen and DSB are tied to the defense of d4 and the Ng5. Black will wait with ...Bxc3+ until white has played e3. After that, white will challenge the center with the double c-pawns, and blacks first task is consolidating.
1. c4 e5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. g3 f5 4. Bg2 Nf6
Here, 5. e3 and 5. d3 are both played often. After 5. d3 Bb4 6. Bd2 0-0 7. a3 Bxc3 8. Bxc3, white has the bishop pair but black has a fine position. An important idea for black is to play Qd8-e8-h5 and push ..f4 at a good moment.
I will get to 5. e3 later.
If you want a fight, the Dutch Leningrad can give it to you. I've done OK with some transposition tricks
How about 1. c4 e6 2. Nc3 d5 3. d4 (3. cxd5 exd5 4. d4 Nf6) 4. Nf6
Yeah, I also prefer the 1...e5 with (usually) Bb4 lines @ robert
Yes, which is why I play what I do and not f5 
Much respect to your approach though.
Hi there,
I'm currently quite satisfied with my openings against all regular white first moves, except 1. c4. Currently I play 1... Nf6 2. Nc3 e6, hoping to transpose to the Nimzo Indian after 3. d4 Bb4. However, I dislike the Flohr-Mikenas attack after 3. e4, and it's quite theoretical as well. I also hate playing against 3. g3 with all it's possible transpositions to the Catalan.
I'm looking for a low-theory system against 1. c4. I don't mind transposing to the QGD, Nimzo-Indian or any hedgehog system and don't fear the Maroczy bind (I play those regularly in the sicilian Kan).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions :-).
