What is your main primary goal with this? The reason I ask is that if your goal is learning bitcoin lightning I'd say go with the Umbrel or Start9 because you can get up and running very fast. If you don't care that much about getting deep with customization these options are great. If you want deeper learning on how these tools work and think you'll do more custom stuff follow the advice of others in this thread. If you want to deepen your knowledge of self hosting in general I'd go as low level as possible. All of these approaches are valid depending on your goals. Also, you can start with one and switch to another but if you think you wanna go deep now I'd go for it now vs. migrating from Umbrel to a custom configured node.
