idk, i'm pretty happy with alby hub. there's been a few issues over the last year but many times it was just to do with their choice of using LDK C++ node. seems like that has passed now.

I have my own lnd (+ my albyhub btw) and core instances with maybe 15 fat channels. But always on a hunt for good/solid peers.
yeah, LND seems mostly good but it has some awful bugs in it outside of its network activity. my friend tried to build a docker for it and discovered that its configuration system was a mess. i have worked with btcd before, from the same devs, and it also had a lot of similar bugs in it, that i fixed forking it for the project i was working on (was basically my debut to doing golang server dev)
