Okay if custody of your own coins is priority for you, and you don't want to run a node straight away, I guess my recommendation is Zap Desktop. You can also get it from its github page. Basically it's running an lnd node in the background, but it presents a nice GUI as a front end.

Additionally I use rebalance-lnd to rebalance channels manually. BOS can also rebalance as well as perfectly balanced.

The Lightning Network is fast, but it kinda sucks.

Are you using channel rebalancing tools at all? Like Balance of Satoshis, or rebalance-lnd? I really like the latter.
Automate balancing with tools, is there good recent tutorial [end of 2022]?
