What is your budget?

In general try to go for Asus, they can mesh and are usually reliable.

If you want something more advanced, look into Ubiquiti, though they will be more expensive, also read the reviews for the different components, some POE switches can get quite hot, so if you don't need it try and avoid it.

I am on Asus, and have had very little issues related to my router the last few years, but have been eyeing Ubiquiti lately...

Asus puts a lot of their advertised features behind accepting terms and conditions that have them harvesting and selling your data. You can not agree to it and still use the device. But many of the advertised features won't work.

Check out ASUS Merlin, it's a openwrt reimplementation of most of ASUS closed in features

Thanks, ASUS Merlin looks great.
