1. d4 Nf6 of course, since you can quite easily transpose to d5 lines, whereas you may have trouble playing the King's Indian after 1. ...d5!

d4 Nf6 or d4 d5.  i think d4 c5 is inferior to both of the other choices

What's the over/under on how long it takes the Englund Gambit trolls to take over this thread?

I vote 1...Nf6 not because of flexibility but because of pieces before pawns.

Aiming for flexibility caused one to drift.

I added more choices if people don't like any.

I'd say 1...Nf6 because it offers more choices and Black can switch to QGD later if he wants.
