determine whether or not you want to run a lightning node in addition to your full node on the same device - that will help narrow down some options for you.
as far as I know, ronindojo doesn't have support for lightning - it's mostly focused on Samourai's Whirlpool implementation & running a node for privacy.
are you going to DIY the node, or buy one from a vendor? nodl's dojo implementation has support for lightning.
do you want your node to just be a node, or do you want additional self hosted services?
Umbrel, Start9 & CasaOS (mostly anything based on Docker) support additional services you can self host that aren't strictly bitcoin related(think ad blockers, media hosting, personal LLMs)
