""what's the best opening for my current opponents?""

I believe this is the wrong question. You should ask instead:
'What is the best opening against the strongest opponent I will ever face in my life?'
It is a loss of time and effort to change openings like every 200 rating.
It is much better to start with solid openings right away. Then you can keep accumulating experience.
Every game you play then becomes a preparation for that one game you will play against the strongest opponent you will ever face.

If an opening is good enough against 1000 rated opponents does not mean it is good against 2000 rated opponents.
But if an opening is good enough against 2000 rated opponents, then it is also good against 1000 rated opponents.
