Open channels with people you ;
1) know personally (best)
2) can get ahold of (npub, twitter, telegram)
3) services you use (think popular wallets, services like bitcoincompany, stacker news, etc.)
Choosing peers just to help route like LOOP is a bad idea; as they prioritize channel profitability and will very quickly close the channel, because they're not making X# of sats off of you.
Minibits is great bless his node💜
I do not personally know anybody that has a node.
In the past I've used lightning Network + but it's been so long I was hoping to get some bites here before going that route.
And The goal is more to for reliability of payments as opposed to profitability of routing.
Why I'm going to have one channel to boltz, strike, and acinq (I use these services).

ACINQ would be best
Boltz is great, but they want very active channels. They've closed two of my channel opens to them within a week, because I wasn't doing enough daily sends through their channel
Strike will most likely not allow you to open a channel; you'd need approval from them. & even in that case you'd need good sized channel; ~10M or so
Best would be plebs here, and the services that you use.
As just an example, My list for you would be (each a min. 1M sats)
- stacker news
- the bitcoin company
- ACINQ
- wallet of satoshi
- coinOS
- other fellow plebs on Nostr
