Just because a third of the pieces are gone doesn't mean it's an instant draw.

I'm sure many grandmasters have had that position many times and I'm sure that not all of them are draws lol

Yeah besides in the above position black can’t castle so I would think white is winning rather than drawing.

not always but black plays this particular variation just to enter an equal endgame

D4 but it depends

Those are my favorites. Has it ever struck you that whatever you play it always depends on your opponent’s move? Everyone has a different favorite and a different strategy.

Play whichever one you're comfortable with, if you're asking my opinion probably d4

that's exactly why I play d4. I prefer the positional style of play.
