For a pi4 I would recommend an aluminium FLIRC case as it's passively cooled and keeps temperatures to manageable levels. I tested mine with 100% CPU and GPU load, I think it topped out at ca. 60c, it runs at a steady 40c (ish) while hosting LMS and serving basic NAS duty (4 drive tower attached via USB 3).
I run LMS from the max2play image on a Pi 3 and Pi 4, others here may be able to suggest better solutions but for getting LMS up and running I find max2play very convenient: download the image, burn it onto the card, boot the pi and with some very basic configuration via web pages you're up and running.
