i like it
I played the dragon and the sveshnikov.
Probably the najdorf, the classical, and the dragon are the most popular...but I am basing this assumption on my own experience only, and I dont own chessbase.
im learning the o'kelly variation right now
1. e5 c5
2. kf3 a6?!
its better than you might think. It can be very problematic for black when white gets a knight on b5
I play it from both sides, play the Najdorf as black and i play a closed sicilian when playing white. Yes it is a lot of theory to keep up with, but if you are going to play e2- e4 then you are going to have to face it quite a bit.
i do and other openings/defenses
