Mesh Network Routers

I've been researching mesh router brands as I'm looking to upgrade from a 5+ year old Google Nest mesh network. It's important that, whatever brand I purchase, I can count on it automatically resetting if there's a power outage since we're unlikely to be here in the off season to intervene. I'm less concerned with the speed but would like to be prepared for 1 gig (even though we need/are purchasing only 100 mbps from Breezeline at present). I'm significantly increasing our number of smart home devices. Ideally whatever new system I purchase will also support Wifi 7.

I'm almost settled on an Eero after considering other brands such as Asus, TP-Link, Google Nest and Netgear. These seem to be the major players. I'm interested in your experiences with these or other mesh system brands...especially relating to their success at automatically resetting after a power outage with no manual intervention.

Thanks.
