So Monero is private by default while lightning needs a bit of tinkering to get going 

That’s the crux I’m gettin.

Love lightning for it’s awesome ease of use btw! 

Thanks for the clarification!

For now monero is better on all points, IF you use your own node. LN privacy sucks when u receive payment because invoices leak too much data. BOLT12 could improve this ...
When u send payment privacy is okay on LN

And it all depends how u manage your channels, and the utxo they come from.
