It's hard to take a stance on "recommended" nodes as an open source project but for new users it's really difficult to figure out who they should open channels with. In the current implementation we sort the list of nodes based on some calculated metrics (fee rate, liquidity, network reachability, etc).
It probably makes sense to run or identify some good "messenger" nodes. I want to stand up at least one solid and extremely low fee "juggernaut" node that people can use. There are some other obvious suggestions if people need good nodes for "payments". (Zap, Yalls, Bitrefill, etc)
Curious to hear what people think about these ideas but I like the idea because it simplifies onboarding for new users while still allowing people to do what they want.
