I actually still use BlueWallet LN they since stoped adding LN wallets unless you have your own node.. but from on-chain BlueWallet to LN BlueWallet there is a very low fee depending on the memepool fees.. Strike is another cheap way even though they deal in cash LN you can still buy bitcoin and send via lightning or on-chain very low fees

What I did is opened a channel with Phoenix for about 2m sats for larger purchases on lightning. As I spend I refill the channel with Strike. I then also use WoS for zaps and refill that from Phoenix.

"Best" is really dependant on your situation, what you plan to use it for and what trade offs you're willing to make for convenience vs control. If you are trying to get larger amounts into lightning you'll probably want to run your own node.

That’s a great strategy I may implement that myself..

agreed there are many different ways to use these wallets depending on the use case in your situation.
