I run stock LEDE on Archer C7v2 and have had zero problems with it (I ran OpenWRT before LEDE made a stable release). I could buy a Ubiquiti gateway and AP, but C7v2 is less expensive and gives me an appreciation for embedded device programming. I have had trouble experimenting with advanced features such as band steering, mesh and multi-WAN/load balancing in OpenWRT/LEDE though, so if you plan on using those, I agree Ubiquiti is a great choice.
