The bare minimum requirement for a bitcoin wallet is that it is open source.

If a complete and total noob needs to use lightning network for payments, I would probably send him/her to Muun Wallet.

My favorite on-chain wallet is Green.

My favorite lightning wallet is Phoenix. It's very easy to use, but you do need to open a channel first by sending some sats to your on-chain address. Probably not ideal for someone starting from zero.

For receiving zaps on Nostr I would use anything that supports NIP-57. I don't care if it's custodial or closed source as long as you know it's ONLY used for receiving zaps.

Wallet of Satoshi is idiot-proof but I would hate for someone to start using it as a savings account. They must be warned that it should only be used for very small amounts.

It is unfortunate that NIP-57 isn't widely supported by open source wallets yet.

I do not recommend WOS. If someone is using it for receiving zaps, use it ONLY for that. Don't have more than $25 worth in it and definitely don't use it for everyday use or for stacking sats.
