Here's a link to a Benoni Tournament that I am playing in. These games will give you an idea of how they continue from the initial move sequence.

I usually play Benoni I play e6 Before c5.
I usually play Benoni like this, as black:
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5
or
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c5
Some players only play the Benoni, if white plays 3.Nc3
Not when white plays 3.Nf3
there is a LOT of stuff on the webb

If you play the benoni, it is highly recommended that you play e6 before c5, in order to to induce white's Nf3. Otherwise, with f4 followed by Bb5+!, white can introduce the Taimanov variation and have clear superiority:
1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 e6 4 Nc3 exd5 5 cxd5 d6 6 e4 g6 7 f4 Bg7 8 Bb5+! Nfd7 9. a4 or Bd3 0-0
de Firmian recommends 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 c5 4 d5 exd5 5 cxd5 d6 etc. as a way to prevent the above continution.
Personally, I don't think too highly of the Benoni from the black side. The weakness at d5 frequently worsens into a passed pawn.
