Unraid, and TrueNAS are both solid options. You also have Proxmox you can run. It is important to understand though that Unraid and Proxmox are more than just a NAS. They also host VMs and Docker containers. You do have to pay for a license for Unraid though. It is a one time purchase.
The big thing with Unraid compared to the others is that you don't really have to worry about the size of disks to get the protection of a parity drive. As long as your largest drive in the array is the parity drive you are good.
TrueNAS also has paid options but they do have the free version.
Proxmox is also open source. Which may be something that you like.
Personally I use Unraid. It is solid and I have had zero issues.
