I’ve been using PFSense for years, and it’s been pretty great, but I also have some friends who are homelabbers that like their Unifi setups.
What do you guys prefer, and why?

I used pFSense for years until Netgate took over. That is when I switched to OPNSense (maybe 2019/2020, don’t remember excatly). Since then, I’ve had OPNSense (runnign on a Lenovo m720q tiny) and Unifi (APs and UNVR) for wireless and cameras. I like this setup, it gives me all the advanced routing features I want and have become accustomed. I’m sure Unifi routers are good for most use cases and would have the added convenience of one interface for everything. However, I’ve not been impressed with price to performance ratios for their past offerings (ie. the routing capabilities of OPNsense with an i5 CPU and option for swapping a quad port 1gbe nic to a dual port 10gbe nic) is hard to compete against. That said, the UDM-SE looks interesting.
