Which Node for a BCH Pool?

If there is anybody here that knows about coin daemons/pools...

What is the route when setting up a pool for BCH? For a coin with a core type wallet it would be a simple case of spinning that up with server=1 etc.. I notice there are many nodes for BCH?

Which one to use and what flags need to be set in config file for full node + pool?

I don't need detailed instructions, just pointing in the right direction.

Also how big is the blockchain currently?

Using Windows Server 2019.

Thanks.
