Do you think that in view of the current high price of Bitcoin, it is worth doing this over the regular blockchain, or should I open a lightning account?
There's a couple of things that you need to know before "opening a Lightning account".
You could use a custodial wallet like
BlueWallet. This way, you would not have to worry about inbound liquidity and being online 24/7. If you decide to run your own node or use a non-custodial wallet, you will have to worry about inbound capacity - you will have to make room for incoming funds by spending some coins over the Lightning Network.
If you use a non-custodial wallet, you won't be able to receive any payments unless you keep your wallet open. The same applies to a node, but you would probably keep it online 24/7 anyway.
