Arbitrarily choosing one player to roll doesn't *necessarily* privilege a player. If you use, say, 4dF as your randomizer, you can be perfectly consistent and still treat both participants equally, without caring who actually carries out the roll.
Also, you've already got an asymmetry built in in the challenge mechanism. One of the players gets to pick, the other gets to accept or decline. How are you going to resolve that asymmetry when both players want to be the one making the challenge?
Finally, just for clarity, is it your intent that 'going up against someone else' include NPCs, played by the GM?
This makes VB go "Thanks for asking!"
