Start9, MyNode, Umbrel, Raspblitz all work well as simple nodes. Just some minor diffences in how they're setup.
Just check out the feature sets first to see if there is anything else you want on the personal server side. Start9 and Umbrel lean more toward personal server.
How computer savvy are you? What kind of computer will you install it on?

I'll add some personal observations below, but it might be over your head if you're new to node running or computers.
I haven't played with the newest version of Umbrel, but I believe they split the OS and node data up in the new one, similar to what MyNode does. The advantage is that if the OS drive dies or gets screwed up, you just reinstall the os and all the node data is still there.
This is more important when running a node OS on an SD card, which are pretty flaky. (Most basic raspberry Pi setups) I've moved to SSD for both OS and Node data, so no more SD card issues. If you run a Pi, I highly suggest 8GB of ram.
