Hello Richard and all,
Either of the suggestions you made below should work fine. Try both formats in
consecutive tournaments and seek feedback.
If there is a flank opening round, would it be fitting for 1. b3 to be
selected, to mark the contributions Bent Larsen, who died last week, made to
chess?
On that point, perhaps one could give a tournament the name of a great chess
player, living or dead, and see what the database shows their favourite
variations are, and select from there.
Paul Benson.

Hello Paul and others,
The theme idea appears so far to be what the players want.
So if there are enough players for a tournament, how about:
* one King Pawn, one Queen Pawn and one flank opening?
or
* three major variations of one opening like Ruy Lopez or The Sicilian?
or
* other ideas?
Richard
