I play the QGD Orthodoxe Variation. The plan for Black is simple to follow and it is very solid, especially against a stronger opponent. True, it's not the most dynanic of defense, but White has to play precisely if he wants to keep a small advantage. If not, Black gets easy equality and even winning chances. There's also _a lot_ of annotated classic games with that defense. However, if you like a more dynamic choice with good piece play you could try the Queen Gambit Accepted.
