The bare minimum requirement for a bitcoin wallet is that it is open source.
If a complete and total noob needs to use lightning network for payments, I would probably send him/her to Muun Wallet.
My favorite on-chain wallet is Green.
My favorite lightning wallet is Phoenix. It's very easy to use, but you do need to open a channel first by sending some sats to your on-chain address. Probably not ideal for someone starting from zero.
For receiving zaps on Nostr I would use anything that supports NIP-57. I don't care if it's custodial or closed source as long as you know it's ONLY used for receiving zaps.
Wallet of Satoshi is idiot-proof but I would hate for someone to start using it as a savings account. They must be warned that it should only be used for very small amounts.
