Don't you have a node at home? Like an Umbrel, Start9, Raspiblitz, or whatever else.
You'll have the best performance and will become a true sovereign Bitcoiner if you do so. Maybe you even spot opportunities to build something that could help others have an easier time.
An added benefit of these nodes is that you can also self-host a bunch of cool stuff so you need to rely less and less on external parties.

No, I'm a noob who's just getting started. I'm sure I'll get there.

Fair enough brother, you are at the right place, so that's good for you! :D
I've been reading some people who completely abandoned the path of using these miniaturized nodes and are using PCs, old laptops, etc, to run their nodes instead. Both Umbrel and Start9 have their operating systems open souce, so you can just run them and get all the automation and benefits they pack out of the box.
So whatever works for you, but if you are a curious soul like me you'll want to give some of these "guys" a try, you'll enjoy and learn a lot in the process.
