 Default and the most simple one to use is LDK. 
(Alby runs an optimized  Esplora server so it's not depending on blockstream's  public server) Out of the box everything should just work

If you already have an Umbrel, Start9, RaspiBlitz, or some LND setup then LND is a good option. You need to take care of your LND node then

PhoenixD has the advantage to use Acinq's LSP

the rest I would not recommend much at this point actually. Ecash is fun. 
 Thanks to both of you 🙏 
 let me know if I can help. I am also happy to walk you through the setup.  
 Thanks, I managed to set everything up automatically, I also updated Alby Hub to version 1.8.0
Instead, for the opening of the channel I asked for help from nostr:nprofile1qqs0h7ec2h2scduxdtcqfp9xgangpts79lcye6uamzfkge0hp5u32zcpp4mhxue69uhhjctzw5hx6egpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdu46puj5 who was really kind 🙏

 oh thanks. that needs to be updated: 
https://github.com/getAlby/hub/blob/63cd230159c26ee5bad00d538fb29241cdd8bb5a/config/models.go#L28

we run this and also have some optimizations in there, e.g. for fee estimates to mitigate unexpected channel closure potential. 

we also try to use internal tools where possible that users by default only (if not chosen otherwise) interact with us. 
 oh cool. Thanks for the update!
