I think gary kasparov says in his book 1.e4 "has got to be best first move" since it attacks two squares in the enemy camp and allows delvelopment of both bishop and queen.

And chessmaster says in trainning mode. for white it gives 3 points for either
1.e4 or 1. d4
for black
1w e4 1b e5 = 3 points
1w e4 1b c5= 3 points
1w d4 1b d5 = 3 points
1w d4 1b Nf6 = 3 points

all other moves are worth less(according to chessmaster10th ed). if you want me to give you the next best moves from chessmaster I will?

And chess engines (let along CM) are the leading authority on openings?

I must admit, I really enjoyed the discussion of the Sicilian Wing Gambit here a few months ago, I can imagine that puzzling a few novice Sicilian players for a minute or two - not sure I'd ever play it consistently, though...or indeed at all.
