Need help setting up my home wireless network

We have a 6,000 sqft L-shaped house.  Some rooms have a CAT5 connection to a central hub where our Cable Internet provider modem is located.   Should I buy 3 nighthawks?   or the mesh system?  What's the absolute best configuration?  Is there anyone out there that can make some recommendations?

    I'd go with a mesh system. The benefit to mesh is the seamless roaming and single ssid function. it also gives you the option of wired and/or wireless backhaul. Plus you can add satellites to the system as needed for added coverage.
