A lot of facts weigh in choosing the right repertoire for you: time available for preparation, the format you play on, the kind of positions you feel comfortable with... But most of all, know yourself and be clear about your expectations of the opening.
Here you’ve got Christof’s three pearls of wisdom:
1. Know your goals (what do you want to achieve? Use openings that maximize your chances)
2. Don’t fear preparation (it doesn’t happen that much; just know your stuff and follow chess principles)
3. Adapt your repertoire to the situation (switching openings is a good idea from time to time)
