I just want some advice from more experienced players. This can help me refine my repertoire.
This way, we can also share ideas for opening.
What do you mean by „best“?
-counter-attacking
-resilient
-solid
-more/less theory
-easy
-complicated
-winning chances but burning bridges
You can’t have it all.

An opening that you can recommend to a 1500. After all, I prefer to play solid openings, whatever if is it complicated to play it or not.

Hello
I recommend to use the opening database and then choose a continuation that fits your playing style.
Feeling comfortable during the game is important imho.
What other players prefer has no value for your game.

Semi-slav or Slav both can be fairly simple depending on the line you choose to play.
It has it all flying tactics, dynamic, strategic, two Q's each, sacrifices, endgames, attacks on the king, the world is your oyster. You can have all the fun in the world, it's amazing.
EXCEPT when WHITE WUSS OUT and play the EXCHANGE VARIATION, at that point shake your head, shout "WHY" and prepare to suffer for between 20 and 120 moves on the verge of equality.

As a 1500, learn the Queen's Gambit and Slav (From both sides). This will do FAR more for your general chess knowledge than trying to stick to a certain repertoire. This will even help you vs meta openings like the London System.
Even if you don't intend to main these openings, you would be surprised by how much your chess will improve by learning the systems, equalizing patterns and way to punish mistakes and take the initiative!
This knowledge can come back to pay dividends if you decide to start playing the Queen's Indian defense and have to switch back to a ...d5 setup (like vs 4 a3 or Nbd2 variations, both of which do not exactly help White very much in the main line QGD, while the ...b6 move (which you played early) and Bb7 can remain useful.
Then, you can choose to play the Nimzo-Indian and other openings (if you so choose, even the KID or Grunfeld), and be prepared to play a ...d5 (possibly followed up by ...c5) setup, rather than a ...d6...b6...e5/c5 setup, all because you spent the time to study the Queen's Gambit!
