I would use won/loss/draw figures from your database and *also* consider the ce value. What you really get are the landmines. So, for instance, if the ce is -457 don't go there! Or if the ce is +530, it is likely a very good choice. But if the ce is around 100 centipawn, win/loss/draw figures are likely to be more important. A lot of those may well be single pawn gambits. Calculating a good move from the opening positions is really very difficult for computers to do. I have run the positions that look bad at high intensity just to make sure that it will be hard for a computer to deal with them.
