Well, you are going to want something that allows you to both send and receive zaps, right?
Strike works for receiving zaps, since they give you a lightning address, but not so well for sending, because they don't have Nostr Wallet Connect. (Yet?)
I am not familiar with Exodus wallet, but it seems to be a multi-coin wallet, so I doubt it really has anything for Lightning and Nostr focused features.
My recommendation for dead simple Nostr integration from a custodial wallet is Coinos (npub1h2q…w8ch), hands down.
Setting up an account is free, and no KYC at https://coinos.io/
Once you do, you can go one of two ways.
1. Switch everything to Coinos. Put the lightning address they give you into your profile in place of the one you have from Alby so you can receive zaps, and copy/paste the Nostr Wallet Connect string from your Coinos settings into whichever Nostr client you are using, assuming it supports Nostr Wallet Connect, so you can send zaps.
2. Use Coinos WITH Alby by copying your Coinos Nostr Wallet Connect string into where your Alby account wants you to connect a wallet. Then you don't need to change your lightning address, as your Alby lightning address will send payments to your Coinos wallet. You'll still need to also paste the Nostr Wallet Connect string from Coinos into your Nostr client for sending zaps, though.
What Nostr client(s) are you using?
