Do run a Bitcoin Core FULL NODE Now!

pruned nodes sucks, you should buy a bananapi with sata port.

I don't understand your point. The performance of the raspberry and banana are similar and I don't think the disk speed will make much difference (except for the initial sync).

It was not about performances, I don't like pruned nodes, it is only a personal opinion.
better pruned nodes than no nodes at all.

I still don't know what you mean. Why would it be a pruned node? Who would notice a difference?

What's your definition of a pruned node?

with a rasberrypi you have to run a pruned node, or connect an hard disk via usb2(there is no usb3)
with a bananapi you have a sata port so you can connect the hard disk directly. So with a bananapi you can run a full not pruned node. Everything else is almost equal.

I don't like pruned node because, if for some reason I have to perform a rescan I have to download the entire blockchain another time.

Also Im not sure if pruned node relays blocks.

Moreover: Eclair needs a synchronized, segwit-ready, zeromq-enabled, wallet-enabled, non-pruning, tx-indexing Bitcoin Core node. Eclair will use any BTC it finds in the Bitcoin Core wallet to fund any channels you choose to open. Eclair will return BTC from closed channels to this wallet.

or

c-lightning currently only works on Linux (and possibly Mac OS with some tweaking), and requires a locally running bitcoind (version 0.15 or above) that is fully caught up with the network you're testing on. Pruning (prune=n option in bitcoin.conf) is not currently supported.

or

You must to be running a non-pruning bitcoin daemon with:

txindex=1
set in its configuration file. If you have an existing installation of bitcoind and have not previously set this you will need to reindex the blockchain with:

bitcoind -reindex
which can take some time

but of course those are special usecase.

As I was saying pruned nodes are good, but non pruned ar better.

Why would you need to run a pruned node with raspberry pi? just run a regular node. Also, pruned nodes only relay latest blocks received, but not the whole blockchain.

because the sd card is too little, I don't know if an sdcard is able to store 150gb of data. usb is very unreliable and you end up with a corrupted blockchain.

OK, now I understand your concerns. There are many sd cards with a capacity over 150 GB, it will costs just about 100€ and then you can run your full node on a raspberry.

Thanks again, I will use mine for it.
