 What have you found is the best and easiest LSP to get yourself an inbound lightning channel? I'm speaking specifically regarding your own node, not a mobile client.  
 would like to know this also! 
 Dead simpleat ia ACINQ / phoenixd. Basically no management with splice channel. Fees are high though. Single counterparty/channel, too.  
 When I setup my biggedt node, I opened a few channels with larger providers, then just sent some coin to my self on my other nodes over ln.

From there I just loop in and out as needed to rebalance.  Although, I don't need to rebalance more than 1x per quarter I'd say.

 The LSP from Olympus is just great. I agree with nostr:nprofile1qqs0nt9skq6vfsgh06v979rrnuchau87mmnk2lqxpv2xaeusqfp30mqpzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcprfmhxue69uhkxct5wd68yu3wwdmkzundwd68ytnrdaksz9nhwden5te0v4jx2m3wdehhxarj9ekxzmny9ulaw9v2 
 I was thinking to start writing a guide about LSPs...
Many people still do not know the real meaning of them and how to use them. 
 Lightning Terminal on nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq5xamn8ghj7dnvv45xs7tywde8g6rpvakkjuekw46nvar4vdhxgan6wumkxatzwpckk6rk0puhjdm2da5k7ce5x4kkkumjx3jkzepwdahxjmmwqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wd9hxvmckqw0xz is what I use. I just loop out to on-chain when my channel fills up. This is how I handle KYC lightning sats. 
 With Alby Hub, you can buy channels with inbound liquidity.
Or if you already have spending funds, you can use Lightning Terminal to "Loop Out" liquidity.

 Thanks to your tutorial I started to setup my DIY Start9 Server in a VM with AlbyHub. So far a smooth experience.  
 I always just open a channel with someone else (100% outbound liquidity) and then send a payment to myself on phone wallet (Strike works) and voila! Inbound liquidity.

The trick is I'm using RTL and it allows you to force the channel you are paying "out" from. 

You can do what you want with the outbound payment, but I usually send it on chain back to the node or spend it or whatever. 
 +1 for phoenixd

at this time nothing can beat splicing as for easyness/flexibility of inbound liquidity management... hopefully there will be more counterparties sometime in future
