For your Bitcoin privacy: aim to be surveillance resistant. Complete untraceability is great if you want to invest 10x the effort, but I'd only do this for a small amount of BTC you're making a specifically dangerous payment with. (Single whirlpool utxo mixed a dozen times, sent to a single use lightning wallet via tor etc)
This means for most people its okay to just make lightning payments with a wallet like Phoenix, and even better if you fund it from a whirlpool mix. A really really motivated spook could possibly find some metadata here to infer some things, but difficult to do anything across a large number of users.
