There's a few to look at there, thanks!
You're definitely on the right track. There are many types of Lightning wallets, and they work a bit differently based on how they interface with the network and the user.
Some are fully custodial like nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpz9mhxue69uhk6mnv9emrqmpwd9hj7qpqhcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3use4zreu and nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgzn9kpsmllqnsf7wh5tz3wgy4cclsftqqplv8tpayrhwgw8llunevgnmdf3, and others are mostly or fully self-custodial, like nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpzemhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skcqpqxnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2s7szjpe, nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s0pfy4z, and Phoenix. I wouldn't put Muun in the category of a Lightning wallet, but it does offer a higher degree of self custody than WoS.
You have a choice on how you want to use them, and you can always use more than one, since there are usually some trade-offs either in features or security.
I think you will like Alby and NWC, and there are some easy ways to boostrap onto it without running your own node to start. Check out how nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxyh8jcttd95x7mnwv5hxxmmdqqszpxr0hql8whvk6xyv5hya7yxwd4snur4hu4mg5rctz2ehekkzrvcsuxfmc has implemented their wallet. It's technically custodial, since it depends on their Alby Hub, but I like that it lets you spin up a Lightning address quickly and it can be connected directly to Alby Go and most Nostr clients.
Also check out the newest release from nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpzamhxue69uhkvun2daekstnwdaehgu339e3k7mgqyzt3r5dt4qr28g59lulg05t4jqkz7fg8gxrqm8r9jq7gkh5x867cz3f3ytq which uses Liquid swaps instead of channels, and I hear is looking to implement NWC soon.
