 Going to ask a second question too. From what I understand Breez is non custodial lightning on my phone, but to be honest I really don’t like the opaqueness of it. Is this less risky than say an Alby but more risky than running my own lightning node? 
 There's nothing opaque about Breez. on the contrary, you have full access to the underlying node, you can see exactly what is going on...  
 Phoenix wallet seems to me like the best middle ground. They have automated channel management so *I think* that eliminates some risk that managing your own node might pose.
You still secure your own keys, still have to pay to open channels etc.
There is also a new feature called 'add liquidity' that let's you pay a certain percentage fee of transactions, but you're guaranteed to have a large enough channel available.
