Ouch, really tricky question. Has been one of the first hobby node runners since 2018 or 19 (how long is that). That might help here and there.

Minibits mint is really for cashu R&D purposes, it's vastly different task to run large professional and / or routing node.

If payments work for you and you run your own I'd just follow the channel graph that minibits.cash node has - it means that existing channels fit your liquidity needs.

Happy that Minibits and Lightning work for you.
