I'd encourage you to use Phoenix if you like a mobile experience. You can still (for now) use Alby's lightning address, but then transfer your Alby wallet balance to Phoenix on occasion so that you'll maintain custody.

Transferring will just mean generating an invoice in Phoenix and paying it with your Alby wallet.

Transfer on a regular basis so that you wouldn't be hurting if you lose access to the funds held on Alby. That amount is probably around the amount of cash that you'd be feel comfortable carrying in a physical wallet/purse.

Would Phoenix be more solid than mutiny I liked what I had read up on mutiny so far

Yes it would be for a couple reasons:

1. Phoenix has splicing enabled, enabling lower fees.

2. Mutiny has been making a lot of design choices in favor of privacy over user experience. If privacy is a higher priority for you, your choice may be different.

3. ACINQ has a lot longer of a runway to continue to operate as a company, judging simply by the size of their node. Mutiny is still in pre-seed startup phase, which is in itself a risk that they may not continue to operate.
