None is probably the "best option" but this is the evolution I went through in the past few months:
1. had the UDM for about a year, then at some point found out that some firmware update had completely trashed 2.4GHz wifi. Like you can connect to it but if you transfer more than 1MB or so it just hangs, reconnect works but basically unusable, 5GHz works fine but in my house the office just did not get good enough coverage. Like, dude, you had ONE JOB!
2. Bought a Ruckus AP and an Mikrotik hEX S to do routing. Wifi is better but office still did not have good enough coverage.
3. Finally gave up and just ran some CAT 6A from the router to my office. Night and day.
From my research Ruckus gear is really good and requires no controller nor cloud connectivity whatsoever but expensive. Mikrotik is nice for wired stuff, but mostly quite dated for wireless, also they still carry a lot of their previous generation gear .. a lot of it has really wimpy CPU's, so do some research. Also the configuration can be a bit involved, tho lot of internet advice on a decent setup.
