Alby, Wallet of Satoshi, etc., fall under the category of custodial lightning wallets. These wallets handle the nodes and, consequently, manage and secure your funds. Consider them as akin to carrying cash in your pocket; however, you cannot move funds to an on-chain wallet. Being managed for you, they remain online consistently, or at least that's the intention :)

On the other hand, Phoenix and Breeze belong to the non-custodial wallets. They operate a self-contained Lightning node directly on your phone. For receiving payments, the node must stay online, requiring your app to be active. Phoenix, and potentially Breeze as well, might retain incoming payments until you come back online, though my knowledge here might be limited. Additionally, these wallets allow easy swapping between on-chain and lightning transactions.

The hosted nature of Alby and Wallet of Satoshi allows them to provide users with personalized lightning addresses, such as dr.hax@something.com.

Zeus, another non-custodial wallet, enables you to connect to your own node, but you'll need to run your node externally. However, a new version of Zeus is set to include an embedded node, eliminating the need for external setup.

Furthermore, you may want to explore the Mutiny wallet as well.

In conclusion, I recommend trying out all these wallets and using the one that best suits your specific use case!

Phoenix, Mutiny, Zeus are non-custodial wallets. Wos has a risk of getting rugged but has lightning address features. Use the right tool for the right job. Know what you are doing and you will be fine! Muun is ok but during the high fee time, you will pay quite a lot more because they hold you fund on chain.

Heading to #bitcoinpark for #lightningsummit. Looking forward to shake hands and share a few pints with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy and the rest of the awesome freaks!

And one day the centralized crooks will limit the transaction to Rs. 200 a day because your neighbor filed a complaint against you lol. Beware of the tools you use. Stay humble and stack sats.
