Does anyone know a good website / video explaining the major differences between the lighting implementations out there? I'm getting started and finding it hard to choose between lnd, c-lightning and eclair.
RGB is almost here and may be the next evolution of BOLT lightning

I don't personally have any great insight here, but this thread offers some background: https://www.reddit.com/r/lightningnetwork/comments/u2zknw/clightning_vs_lnd/
For both Exponential Layers and my personal routing node, I use Voltage as a managed service to deal with all of the heavy lifting, uptime, and other perks of a managed service, before I fully understand the ins and outs at the implementation level and ever go to a personal instance. Fwiw, my experience with LND has been great, it has nicely documented gRPC APIs and it has many products that I can run locally connecting to remote (RTL) and out of the box on Voltage (Thunderhub, LNBits)
