If OP add (rather than change) Electrum wallet from time to time, then EPS become useless since you need to rescan each time you open different wallet. Using different Electrum server software (which index all address) is far more practical.
Is there another software you would recommend? Just seen EPS talked about the most but open to other suggestions
I'm more familiar with ElectrumX, so i would recommend ElectrumX. Besides, ElecrtumX is most popular software for Electrum server, so you could get more help if you encounter any problem or have question.
Take note ElectrumX is designed to run on Linux OS.
