Scotch as white got me to 2350 blitz. For black it really depended on their first move. After that I switched to the 4 knights as white, and caro, french, and modern as black. I'm now 2450 typically and peak of 2550.

If you think that openings are boosting your rating, you are delusional.

I used to play the Pirc/modern defense, but I felt like my positions were getting very cramped and I had trouble with winning games as black. Then I switched to the Sicilian dragon and now I am generally doing better with the black pieces.

At this level, white will mishandle the attack too, so there is no argument.
