I have been playing Alekhines defence for 5 years now, and its the most reliable and well scoring defence I have tried.
One of my first teachers in the Alekhine taught me a principle which I still try to follow. The principle goes like this: "If white ever plays a4 and it does not look horrible or punishable, play a5". Although I have given my opening advantage as black away many times by following this principle, the principle has always given me the option of a safe passage to the middlegame if I wish to follow it.
