Arguably, Kasparov's suggestion has a drawback to it. The positions in Chess960 are all strategically inferior to the standard position. Thus, they are not very interesting to study theoretically, although they are fun to play in randomized games. I contend that it's better to pick non-mirrored positions, e.g. positions from my Multi-chess:

(the players in turn swap, firstly, the king, secondly, the queen (pieces needn't be mirrored, bishops not on same colours, rooks and knights may not be relocated).
