In my experience Pepwave/Unifi/Microtik are good prosumer brands.
For more consumer-y stuff, it might be worth it to have a look at the Apple/OnHub routers too.
You can also pick up enterprise gear on eBay at pretty good prices, brands such as Cisco/HP/Aerohive/Ruckus etc., but configuring/updating might be a pain.
This isn't so much a problem with the regular UniFi APs, but the UniFi AC AP costs $300!
I'm replacing a hodgepodge of hardware, including some Apple routers and APs. The Apple products worked reasonably well. I had to keep them fairly isolated (for heat) or else they required reboots. But given their price point, I would probably look somewhere else.
Throughput was a major complaint for many reviewers of the Unifi models I researched. No individual reviewer convinced me the units themselves were the problem, but the sheer number of such reviews did.
Peplink's Pepwave units look awesome and were my second choice.
For all the others, I could either not find enough reviews to reach any conclusions or could not find a model that fit my needs.
Also many come with decent warranties
This is after several terrible experiences with expensive name-brand home routers, which I agree are usually trash.
