Can someone explain, If I would run a alby hub for a business as a client, what would be the best funding source that has automated channel management and lowest fees, lets say between phoenixd, breez and greenlight?
Learn how to attach phoenixd to SN #695912

LN fees are not defined by each LN implementation, are defined by the routing nodes, the routes taken.

Ok, I meant the 1% from Acinq for example.

That could be nothing if you compare it with all the hassle of managing (opening/closing) several channels that sometimes can get force closed, high fees charged by some routing nodes.
You should run first a routing node for at least a year and keep track of all your expenses with managing it and run also in parallel a node with phoenixd to compare the costs.
Maybe 1% looks scary at first glance, but if you do not know how to manage properly LN channels with another LN implementation, you can end up paying more. It's all about your skills and knowledge.

You are right, the 1% fee is a small price to pay compared to the hassle. Running a routing node and a phoenixd node in parallel is a great idea, also to get some exp. Thanks for sharing your insight.

I wrote several guides about nodes, LN and stuff like that.
I suggest to read them first: https://darth-coin.github.io/nodes/nodes.html

I was thinking to test between, Alby Hub (LND), Phoenixd and Lightning.Pub + Shockwallet,
just started testing Pub and looks very promissing but most of the node running is abstracted.
