What sounds better for my "taste" d4 or e4?

Im at that point like everyone else once was lol.

I am positional so youd think d4! 

But i love the positions i get from white when im playing against the caro kann, french, petroff, scandanavian, and 1...e5. 

But ive been playing d4 for about 6 months exclusevly. With OKAY results. 

I love playing against the slav, Queens gambit declined, albin, chigoran, queens gambit accepted, Kings indian defense. 

I hate playing against the pirc and these other weird russian systems against e4 like double fianchetto and all that.

I hate playing against the nimzo, gruenfeld, and the benoni set ups. 

I have no problem playing against the sicilian because i am a former sicilian player and no my fair share of theory and which lines i prefer.

Whatever i pick i wills tudy increasingly in depth, and i always try to get an advantage out of the opening. 

So what do you think i should play? what is my "taste"? Feel free to ask me any questions but this is a big turning point for me because i have tournaments coming up and need to start preparing because i love studying openings. 

Also the other two openings i play are 1...e5 and Kings indian attack set up against any other kind of opening.

I would pick e4 and study lines against the Pirc.

If you feel comfortable against the Sicilian, than 1.e4 is probably the best choice for you.
