It depends on what you want to achieve, how much work you want to do, and your level of skill.
If you want to run a full, sovereign Lightning node, run CLN/CLBOSS on s9 or Raspiblitz (depending on how much customization you want to be able to do).
If you just want something that works and is easy to maintain but requires a tiny bit of trust, use Phoenixd or Albyhub (both use LSPs, and are great). Albyhub is slightly more difficult than phoenixd but requires slightly less trust. I consider both to be beginner-friendly.
Think about what you want to do with the node as this will heavily influence the correct decision.
