I like phoenix myself and use it personally but then I have to explain lightning channels and the fee's that sometimes come up with opening a lightning channel, explaining what the keys are and going through the whole process of how to store them and etc.

It's a deeper convo and more technical with phoenix so I find going with WoS first the easier path. Once they get hooked, I then go on to explain self custody and the many different ways to do it.

As they ask more questions and get comfortable with the whole idea of self custody and the technology as a whole, thats when we go down deeper into the bitcoin rabbit hole.
