I play random and try not to cheese 99% of the time. My general strategy is tech to casters quickly, get upgrades early, and expand as fast as possible. Here are the strategies I use for each matchup:
ZvZ
Fast upgrades and infestors to hold off early pressure/mutas. Transition into hydra for AA and speedlings to snipe expos. Banelings only if opponent tries to go mass lings early. Be at +2/+4 when ultras come out, with +3/+5 on the way. May experiment with broodlord hydra mixes.
ZvT
Fast tech to infestors, then upgrades on melee and carapace until hive tech for ultra+ling.
ZvP
Roach ling for early defense into infestor + NP and hydra for mid game with the ultimate goal being hydra infestor broodlord.
PvT
1 gate fast expand into four gate with early sentries for guardian shield. Only 1 early gas to focus on zealot/stalker production then transition into HT, immortal, and stalker mix.
PvP
Fast expand into 4gate. Put down a robo and starport after I hold off any push to focus on immortal + void ray production with stalkers where possible. Expand again if my opponent turtles colossi.
PvZ
Four gate expand into HT tech and expand again. Push with gateway army, then tech to immortal stalker and HT. Composition depends on opponent's. May have to revise opening due to roach range increase.
TvT
Fast expand into fast thor + marauder contain. Get dual starports up immediately for vikings after expo, then proceed to tech ghosts for nukes.
TvP
Fast 2 ghost expand into bio + medivac and fast +3/+3. If colossus come then make vikings and get air weapon upgrades. May try a push with 2 ghosts and ~4 marauders.
TvZ
Fast 2 ghost expand into bio + medivac and fast +3/+3. If mutas come throw up turrets and get a few vikings to help snipe.
