Curious how others are doing it are you using pruning too or did you go with full storage?

I am having a set of nodes.

One is full-storage, running bitcoin core and electrum server (electrs).

One is full-storage and also includes a lightning node (LND), but it doesn't work as I 'd like it to work and I don't have the time to commit fully into making it super functional. I 've also experimented with C-Lightning on this node. It worked meh for me.

One is pruned to the minimum storage size. I use it as a hot wallet just for fun and for my testnet reseach, which isn't so much of a research but more of a playground.
