Hello, my name is Antonio, I am from Alicante (Spain). Excuse my English, it is not very good.
I have tried sparkylinux and it has made clear to me that it is a distribution with a good repository, a new application is updated and adapted. My suggestion would be to simplify the Aptus categories, that is, leave the audio, the video, the codecs ... in a single category called "Multimedia".
Email, rss, file transfer, im, web like "Internet" ...
I think less is more ... simpler ...
Also go back to lxde, i don't understand lxqt is present. I'm left with xfce ...
If the objective of lxqt is to adapt to the plasma ... I have my doubts ... I like that the system is light
What is your opinion?

A very crude simple explanation is LXQT is QT5 without the Plasma. LXDE was ported to QT5, they also took the Tier 1 parts (KF5) of plasma, - so no other Plasma dependencies.
Lightness - speed XFCE then LXDE then LXQT - but they are close in speed - all much faster than KDE.
LXDE will be supported for years. Wayland support will happen for LXQT and XFCE sooner. All are good choices.
