It is a matter of taste. e5 is the most common in practice, followed by c5.

 

There are a number of other options that aren't really much worse in a practical sense. Most options are playable.

Yeah. ..anything can be playable as long as you know the recipe for particular system.

Yup.

"With correct play, balanced positions lead again and again to balanced positions."

Nearly any opening system is playable at our level. It just depends on which opening line you want to mangle. Just play something that "feels" reasonable.

C5 statistically obviously it really just depends on the players and situation.

The best response is the one you're most comfortable with.

1...e5 is the most logical and probably the best. If a perfect game of chess exists I firmly believe it begins 1. e4 e5.

But that leads to complicated positions

What's your question?  I just like playing e5 in response to e4 because in OTB games I can't calculate as well.  So I avoid playing c5
