At your level you can play any move it would be ok.
Is BongCloud a good opening for beginner level? (200-800)

Don't play the bongcloud till you become 2700 please. It will probably do fine at your level but it teaches you bad habits. Sure, Nakamura won with it once but that seems like a pretty low sample size to me.
nakamura was completely lost from the opening, until xiong blundered, but on a normal day, any random 2600 GM can beat hikaru easily if he tries it again. And the only reason hikaru played the bongcloud was because it was the last game, and he was already guaranteed 2nd place (or something)

The name of best opening in bongcloud: B47.96: King's Pawn opening: Sicilian Defense: Bongcloud Counter Attack: French Variation: Alapin: Bongcloud: Double CenterAttack Variation: AntiSicilian Bongcloud Gambit Declined: Double Gambit Variation
It looks like this:
Now when I'm not being silly, what I feel like is that you shouldn't underestimate someone's rating, and it could be someone really good who is underrated. So that's why I think you shouldn't use the bongcloud.
a 900 could give bongcloud odds to an 800
