Wifi 6 is wireless AX.
I'd recommend going that route. Its finally getting a little more mature than release and more devices are being released with it.
Triband is nice if you have alot of devices as you can spread them out a little more. But if you don't have a ton of devices, a dual band would be fine.
What speeds do you pay for?
How many devices are you trying to support and what are they used for? (gaming, streaming, etc)
How big is your home? (mesh might be an idea if the home is big enough)
