I've had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.

The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt to download things, and I don't 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.

Any opinion on Mikrotik?

Run them in a lot of places, love them.

They're good at being configured and forgotten about.

My main rack, that's more complicated, I have proper gear, but mikrotik is great for everything else.
