Hi gavos,
Welcome to the community! :)
SRX5308 would be a good choice of VPN firewall router if ever you are subscribed to 2-4 Internet Service Providers or if you plan have branch sites which is ideal for box-to-box IPSec VPN connection.
There are 5 NETGEAR VPN Client Lite licenses bundled if you purchase one (1) SRX5308. In relation to this, you may want to consider having a client-to-box VPN connection using laptops or desktops. Kindly check this link.
With regard to the access points, you may want to consider either the WAC720 or WAC730. Both supports the 802.11ac standard and backwards compatible to the 802.11n standard as well as 802.11a standard. Kindly check these articles below:

I have one last question. Can I implement "ensamble" with WAC720 or WAC730 connecting them to the same SRX5308? (without connecting the two WAC7x0 together)
Hi gavos,
Ensemble is centralized management, which means you can manage both APs in a single UI. If you want to manage them separately then you'll just have to put them on standalone mode. When on ensemble the AP belongs to a group, this does not mean that the two APs depend on each other. They are connected, yes, but because they are managed by a single UI. It is not like, being used as a wireless bridge or a repeater.
Let us know if this helps.
Thanks,
