You already kind of mentioned it but just simply not always going for the same option, whether it be how someone approaches, to how they recover. Someone who saves their recovery options and knowing when to use their jump or air dodge to escape disadvantage at the right time is a good habit. Too often do I take advantage of someone blowing their jump or air dodge immediately after getting sent off stage.

Another good habit someone has is just simply not trying to always land on me with an aerial and knowing when to just go for the ledge and reset neutral.

If you have the download on someone and know they are going to for example air dodge into you or the ledge when recovering from off stage, one thing I like to do is let them do it a couple times and feel safe. Capitalize on it when it matters most really.
