Hi,
Personally I would not suggest the Berlin against the Ruy Lopez. There is a lot of theory involved and it's way too drawish for Black.That seems to be useful only for 2700 rated players!

if you want to play 1...e5, then you need to choose what you want to play against 3.Bc4. This is the move you'll encounter more often.
Either you play the 2 knights defence, or you play 3...Bc5.
They are radically different.
After you decide you look for a repertoire book for black with your choice.
Michael Marin has a repertoir/explanations book for the opening games. He recommends Bc5.

You will need a separate one for the Ruy Lopez though.
I play 1.e4 e5
This is my repertoire:

Lysyj and Ovetchkin's book is very good, but I prefer to have more imbalanced options in some places like the Four Knights and the Italian. Emms' book on the open games for Black is an older source that I have used. I like the Two Knights Defense for Black, because there are many opportunities to break symmetry and fight for the initiative. Robert Ris's DVD on the Two Knights is interesting, but I think I would prefer the Chigorin to the Traxler. A number of books recommend 4...Nf6 in the Scotch, but I think 4...Bc5 or 4...Bb4+ are more practical and probably take less time to learn. A free resource is Chessexplained's video series on YouTube giving repertoire recommendations for Black after 1.e4 e5.
Two forthcoming books that seem interesting:
New in Chess has scheduled a repertoire book for Black against non-Ruy Lopez opening by Bologan.
Chess Stars has scheduled a book on the Cozio by Dreev.
The Cozio was a shortcut I used while I was a learning the open games for Black. It looks a little funny, but I could not find much wrong with it through the delayed move order (3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nge7).
EDIT: Another nice book is Shaw's book on the King's Gambit. This may seem a strange recommendation, but if you want to be well prepared, this actually has some very good ideas for Black! Also Danish Dynamite is a good resource if you want to be hardcore against the Danish and Goering Gambit. (Just be sure to check with a computer, as I found a few flaws in the extraordinary complications.) But Capablanca's Defense is just fine and probably the most practical choice.
I like the two knights defense for black.
The fried liver/ Ng5 is really not to be feared.
The two knights defense is fairly aggressive. Black just doesn't have as much room to get cute like white. but developing in a tried and true logical way gives very good chances and doesn't allow white to do anything to far from ordinary without risking a quick turn around in control.

its a mine field otb money games ... it is no doubt some excellent chess there, but its just not a pragmatic try in US swiss system events
Hmm, I'd quite like to have the initiative with Black in a last round money game.

Get in the money cirle first by holding the draw and then playing for a win when the chances allow it
How many last round moneys games have you won as black? I have several under my belt at events such as World Open, North Amercan Open.
Well I tied for top U2100 last year at the World Open and tied first U2000 Philadelphia Open year before that, but I was White in both last round games, so maybe that does not mean I am qualified. :)
Edit: Last year, the Cozio served me well in the penultimate round and I made more solid opening choices with Black, switching from the Classical Sicilian and Benko to 1...e5 and the Slav, so I do somewhat agree with you. Calm but fearless is my philosophy in tournament games. Recklessness is not a virtue with the Black pieces, but I think Black has sufficient compensation in the Two Knights to justify the sacrifice in important games.

I assumed you had to win all your games in these swiss events because some players seem to get winning streaks for 6 rounds at least.

Draws are a setback in these large events, so I think some sharpness does pay off in the long run. The important thing is keep the tension for as long as possible and resolve to keep fighting until there is no play left in the position.

You could very well be correct but like someone said draws are evil in huge events. Even though I am not strong enough for draws to be an issue. If I was strong I would expect to walk through some minefields to try and win with black.
I think Be7 is not a bad idea.
I suppose I play to agressive with black as my main defenses normally involve Bc5 to get the bishop outside the pawn chain hitting f2. this is often met by a pin with Bg5 which I loosen my kingside to kick with h6 then g5 while planning to castle queenside. if my opponent does not pin I castle kingside after the queen is developed. this is my best try to play for the win.
