I definitely don't have access to cheap electricity. Besides that, we have rolling blackouts in my country. Setting up a node might be a better option for me but I definitely have to read up more on the topic.

it’s highly dependent on your circumstances (and neither are guaranteed to produce a profit). both are fluid systems, but those with access to cheap electricity have a leg up on mining, while those who can efficiently route money have a leg up on lightning.

I'm not very savvy when it comes to the Lightning Network. Do you perhaps know what's better financially, running a node or mining?
