I need Meteor App in production, without worrying about scaling in the future. App will have 500 user online in any one time - as maximum. I read in the oficial guide that the best practice for many reasons is deploy to Galaxy. But there are also many articles about deploy to Digital Ocean and Heroku.
So what variant is the best?

Use digitalocean.
Set up nameservers, set up node on your droplet and have Mupx do the deploying. It's very easy and DO is cheap.
DO has easy to follow tutorials to do the initial setup and you will thank me later + your wallet will be happy.

I have used Galaxy in a production level app for one of our clients and it works fantastic. If you want a deployment where you don't have to worry about scaling at all, then Galaxy is for you.
With time, as your users increase and you find yourself needing more resources, you can assign better containers and CPU power with just the click of one button. It also provides complete logs and some performance metrics to help you in a completely meteor-specific manner.
The deployment process itself is as simple as having a settings json file, and running a one line command like:
DEPLOY_HOSTNAME=galaxy.meteor.com meteor deploy appname.meteorapp.com --settings settings.json
