My opponent has just beaten lovelove 5d at 8 stones. That's actually pretty good. Probably the the handicap is too low. I will do my best, but will resign if he destroys me. Regarding the orientation of the 3-4 point, the other one allows an early approach like the following a little bit more than the game orientation. That is not to say it is bad, as pros play that way all the time, but since I don't have to give komi, I would like to reduce possible complications from the get-go. I play both ways a lot, actually, so often it's just my feeling that day.

The left side is biggest now as white can make a
double wing , so approach is a common idea. However:
$$Bcm1 Prisoners: none

. In a komi game, I might play this way to shoot for a small-scale game with lots of little groups, or just to probe white's response. But it's harder to handle.
DDK:
White's kick works well if white is extended narrower and black invades. The black invasion is common for play black in the game actual game situation where there is more room, but I wouldn't expect to see it here this early in the game when there are so many other open areas.

The slide seems fine. It makes miai of the corner and the side. But there are other ways to go that I can't say are bad.
Another idea is to extend immediately down the side, seeking something like this:

The right side is a little bigger than the top if you count the gap marked by the x's, so I don't pincer.
