I'm coming around to Ark for lightning nodes (with less frequent pool transactions)

Ark would be really expensive, calculate the cost of on-chain tx every 5 seconds...

5 seconds is a suggestion Burak made because he wanted it to feel as fast as lightning, but I:
- Believe Ark is useful only for opening and closing lightning channels
- Foresee that batching being 1 every day (not 5 seconds) or just adjusted based on what the lightning channel creators (LSPs probably) are needing for those variables to be.

the very last thing I look at is convenience
And there is no bigger mistake than that... ;)

But UX matters for widespread adoption though

Do it right first.
Its like I was saying, I'm of the belief if you do it right first, the UX stuff can be scripted out.

What I look for in Bitcoin scalability layers is:
Rug pull risk
Rehypothecation risk
Attack vectors
Then the very last thing I look at is convenience. Why? Because I firmly believe convenience can be scripted out even if the spec seems inconvenient at first glace.
Right now, lightning on top of Ark seems to be the way to go.
