Admin console 403 error
A brief history: At first everything was working just fine but my speedtest that was installed on the pihole console was not working correctly. I ran a bunch of updates (since I neglected to do so for a year) but still the speedtest was still showing that the test were running every hour but most of them were returning all zeros for up/down/ping. I went through a couple of forums and tried to reinstall my server that runs the admin page (I think it was lighttpd) and then it all hit the fan.

So I can never not use pihole again, ADList Suggestions please?
Every so often I do something to my pi’s and need to rebuild my pihole set up, I always consider “well do I really need it?” “That is how webpages provide free stuff, do I want to take it away?” “I am doing other things for privacy do I need this to?” This most recent time that my pihole set up died on me I started getting bombarded with ads for places and things that I would never consider, then some things happened scaring me about my ID was stolen again I stepped up my security and reset up my pihole setup. I have two pi’s both running pihole, one as my primary and one as my secondary both are synced together with https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync. I have a poop load of block lists, but I have a white list that grows every so often as I find new ways to block things ads while not blocking services. (my most recent addition to the whitelist is Facebook, I like Facebook and don’t want to give it up.) I use Pihole unbound https://www.wundertech.net/use-unbound-to-enhance-the-privacy-of-pi-hole-on-a-raspberry-pi/ set up on both my pi’s, at one point in time I had https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/ running on my system. I suggest unbound and definitely not both, as I understand when running both it takes the best parts out of the other. When I find the ad lists, black lists, and white lists that are working for me I make sure to back them up. In settings there is the teleporter where you can save everything and store it where ever you want. I have been trying but failing at getting the speedtest add on working but my past few installs haven’t liked it, yeah I break things trying to do things often! https://github.com/arevindh/pihole-speedtest, I think I will try reinstalling the add on?Every so often I do something to my pi’s and need to rebuild my pihole set up, I always consider “well do I really need it?” “That is how webpages provide free stuff, do I want to take it away?” “I am doing other things for privacy do I need this to?” This most recent time that my pihole set up died on me I started getting bombarded with ads for places and things that I would never consider, then some things happened scaring me about my ID was stolen again I stepped up my security and reset up my pihole setup.

Issues since setting up a backup PiHole
I don't know if this'll answer your second question, but both are running PiHole, Unbound, the Ookla Speedtest-CLI, and the pihole speedtest mentioned in https://github.com/arevindh/pihole-speedtest

DNS server set to Pihole but no traffic
I've added the Ads & Tracking list and the AMP Hosts list from Developer Dan to the default list; any others you recommend I add? It's hard to tell if the ads coming through are a 'my blocklist isn't good enough' problem or a 'my pihole's not set up properly yet' problem.

Is it okay to use pi-hole if I don’t know what the hell I’m doing?
This is how you learn. Going forward you'll start noticing some ads and some not, based on the default adlist. I think the default adlist is good enough for starting. But you should also look into developer dan's adlist and ticked firebog adlist.

What filters do you people use for adguard?
Enable most of the default ones, use DNS filtering. I use Cloudflare DNS. And for some third-party filters you can load, I recommend Steven Black hosts, OISD blocklists, Developer Dan hosts and AnudeepND Blacklist.

The Blocklist Project - These lists were created because the founder of the project wanted something with a little more control over what is being blocked. Many lists out there are all or nothing. We set out to create lists with more control over what is being blocked and believe that we have accomplished that.
