What's the best #bitcoin wallet to recommend to a noob?

Discussion
Exodus and trezor
probably cashapp or strike. non custodial is gonna burn for a noob with a small stack. if and when their stack becomes meaningful they are hopefully incentivized to learn and take personal responsibility.
🎯💯
Many may disagree, but I still think Muun is great for the new user and even has Lightning 🐶🐾🫡
Muun still has its place, in my opinion.
I have had no issues using it for stacking, since you don't get hit with the nasty fees for receiving on Lightning. They just won't let you receive at all if on-chain fees are popping.
I let about 1-2 million sats build up in it by receiving via Lightning, then send them out to cold storage on-chain.

Sparrow for interaction with cold storage.
Mutiny Wallet (Lightning/on-chain)as hot wallet.
Phoenix
I've been asking myself the same thing lately.
I like minibits.cash. is very easy and it gives them a lightning address and nostr key.
I recently created a wallet for my teenage son by writing 12 words in a birthday card and taught him how to recover the wallet by going to app.mutinywallet.com. That's also cool, but I wouldn't do that for strangers, I love Mutiny because of how they handle game theory, but noobs might have a hard time wrapping their head around Venmo for bitcoiners.
I tried explaining it to a newcoiner recently. It didn't go so well.
I've been recommending Aqua. It's got onchain, liquid and can use swaps for lighting.
I like Aqua i use it.
Primal...

What country? Are they trying to swap fiat for btc?
Envoy for on-chain btc is nice
Custodial: nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch
Noncustodial: nostr:npub1ajlrwgfj4yerhqf7ady03h7wmtk2qr3gs7h3sxcx83k05yld36sswpzx3q
Just my humble opinion, though.

A hot wallet on mobile:
Muun: for self-custody, lightning + on chain, low fees.
Wallet of Satoshi: i know you hate it ^^ but it's the simplest way for a noob to get a ln address and move small amounts of sats
Blockstream green: on-chain only, the most secure of the 3 wallets with self-custody and 2FA multisig
I wish Green supported Lightning. That would make it the perfect wallet in my opinion!
Hello newstr! I recommend stacker.news for newbies.
I just wrote an article for new users like you, take a read. I hope it helps.

Mutiny!
I like nostr:npub1tcnvkw8fu29zspw54tuhfrk0tkzn6qdupmc45slt4zmase3dzqask6ctu0 Cause it’s also pretty 🤩
Casa single key with encrypted backup. The noob doesn't have to think of offline backups.
