Personally I've had really good luck with the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and R7800 models. They are supported by openWRT as well if you are into that. An issue might be that they are "only" WiFi 5 units. Some of the newer models in the Nighthawk series might be just as good, but i don't have personal experience with those...
I've just bought a 7800 because it can replace my Sky Router apparently with a little tinkering. I have an Openwrt router running as an AP in my loft but was gonna leave this on stock firmware just because I tried to use the Openwrt as DHCP and it didn't seem to want to work, maybe I just don't understand it well enough.
All I really want to do is point at my Adaway servers, so I'll be able to do that with the stock firmware.
Anything is better than what Sky have me locked down to.
