Best opening move?

Sort:

What do you play (as white) as your first move? Please don't say stuff like knight to rook's three or the rook pawn moving or anything like that.

I play e4

f4 is a really good positional opening.  I love it.  Wild tactical lines are good with e4 or d4 ... ... but then there is a wild tactical variation for every move ... BUT i will still stick to f4 baing a mainly "positional" move.

P-KB3 is the best possible move. Or is it the worst? Anyways, I vote for P-K4.
