Similar to IrisAnother, against a random, I find that safe openers are the best bet.
I usually go for a standard opener with 2 or 3 gates all close by my nexus to reduce travelling time and get the few extra minerals.
Scout off the 9 pylon, and react from there depending on race. The 2nd pylon is best near your ramp in case you scout a rush so you can block the ramp easier.

I like all the Terran and zerg comments - "oh I just do a safe opening I can do against all races and react after I scout"
... Protoss "oh, I just leave the game cause what ever I do is a coin flip and I'm usually fucked" OR "I just cheese him"

14/14 vs terran isn't exactly viable.

plus protoss can just open forge.

1 gate opening with the ability to either expand or transition into 3 gate robo after scouting seems pretty versatile to me. Less than ideal against Zerg, but still safe and flexible, no? Of course this doesn't apply on maps like TDA where you can't hold a lot of builds, but in that circumstance you can pretty much get away with opening defensive 4 gate.

I could be totally wrong about all of this - it's just my limited understanding.

Quick Comments
 syfChadMann:  
yeah I agree - and that is what I do.. but I was simply commenting on all the protoss complaining about PvR.

The worst when I was Protoss was vs Random on TDA... I just learnt to veto that...

As Terran I go 12 rax 13 gas in vT/P anyway, so if it's a Zerg I just go reactor hellion expand instead of 1 rax expand. I'll always scout with SCV that built the depot (at the wall).
