What is your favorite choice against 1. d4?

Do you think I could use that in longer classical games too? Is this a correct gambit like the Vienna Gambit or is it bad if your opponent finds good moves?

I'm not an expert. I'm uncertain of the status of the gambit. All gambits come with a risk.
I like the Benko and i have played it with different time controls and I see no reason to stop playing it.
