Make it eligble for every rule. If you think a ref missed an egregious penalty and you want to use your challenge on it, go for it. If you think a penalty should actually be a penalty shot, use it. Think that should have been icing? Have at it. Etc.. I think this way the coaches would likely end up using it on something else, to get a different advantage than just having a goal called back, and the use of it for minor offisides and the like would decrease just because there are more options to use it. Give the ref another 30 seconds to review the replays and make the call.
I also don't mind the delay of game penalty for being wrong.

Oh god no. That would literally destroy any flow to the game. I can live with penalty calls being missed sometimes because it usually evens out. I couldn't stomach every possible play being under review.
