I think it depends what you want out of it.

The arch install from the ISO is a layered process. You can always add more, but a bootable install is not much over a page away. I do like to pick what's best for me, but that's not a prerequisite for first install. Do it, take notes, refine, and repeat.

I don't have an installer or anything, but I have pretty comprehensive notes of what I like (bootctl vs grub, network-manager vs systemd-networkd and friends, and so on). But to have a system that boots and optionally has a desktop environment of your choosing is not exactly a Rubik's cube of difficulty.
