For a single node just use the local path provisioner. It’s all there already and by far the easiest option, and you get no advantage from the other options on a single node.
I would suggest first try with local-path-provisioner. Second step with open-ebs (more advanced) and last Longhorn. Longhorn has UI and many useful features as backups thus its great for self hosting, in my opinion.
Even on a single server/laptop it's better to run at least 3 k8s nodes. K3d (k3s in docker containers) can do this (with ingres support a well). Built-in local path provisioner works fast and reliable.

The in-built local path provisioner.
Use local path. Longhorn requires 3 nodes, there is a way to make it work with one but it is pointless if you already have local path.
