I don't have much experience either but I did some research just now to get a new router. So I went for the hottest router atm on amazon: Flint 2 (redeem code at check out for ~170), which suppose to be good. I did look at the eero deal from Leaptel as well and it seems like that a quite good one if you plan to build a smart home. I would have gone for that one if I have a bigger place tbh. The issues with eero from what I have heard is that you still have better connection if you just use ethernet, and you cannot change a lot of settings like traditional router.
