Best and favourite are not the same. Many people favour subpar openings for fun or to evade theory.
There are several best openings. 1 e4 or 1 d4 are equally good.
1 e4 e5, 1 e4 c5, 1 d4 d5, 1 d4 Nf6 are equally good.
What is the best chess opening?
Sort:
The best opening even after hundreds of years is probably still 1. e4 e5.
However, anyone playing 1. e4 has to be prepared that your opponent will play a variety of other openings in reply, as of his own prefered choice. Like I do play the French against 1. e4, while others have other ideas.

My favourite opening to play against a lower rated opponent is bongcloud and against a higher rated opponent I play Vienna with white and sicillian with black.

It is laughable that everyone talks about playing the Bongcloud, but yet I never see 1.e4 e6 2.Ke2 in any game that I ever play Black on here!

I like the London system (I'm a beginner) it just makes my king feel secure in a fortress.
