What are your favorite ways of avoiding it after 1.c4 c5?

Why should I? I like to play against!

It's solid enough to be annoying. :D I dislike playing against it. It's personal/subjective, of course.

One option which I found googling is 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 c5 3.Nf3 e6 4.d4

Another find was 1.c4 c5 2.g3

my brainstorming:
1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 c5 3.Nf3 d5 4.cd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nb4
1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 c5 3.g3 d5 (e6 4.Nf3 b6 5.Bg2 Bb7) 4.cd5 Nxd5 5.Bg2 Nc7
1.c4 b6!?
1.c4 c5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 d5 4.cd5 Nxd5 5.Qb3
