Hi friends, would you say this? I know I can say Either way if there are two choices  but I have no idea how to say either way is fine if there are there choices.

Answer

Every way of holding chopsticks is fine as long as you can eat with them.
Whichever way you hold your chopsticks is fine...
Any way you hold chopsticks is fine...
It doesn't matter how you hold the chopsticks as long as you can eat with them.
There is not one specific way you must hold chopsticks.

Answer

All ways of holding chopsticks are fine...or...all three ways of ....
For two you'd say, both ways of...

Answer

This is tricky! You're slipping up by saying "ways", when in fact you want to use the singular "way". Here's what would work: 
1. "Any way of holding chopsticks is fine as long as you can eat with them" 
2. "Whatever way you hold the chopsticks is fine as long as you can eat with them" 
3. "Any way will do" 
The rest are a little clunky for a native speaker
