I disagree for the logs on the data partition as things are likely to go wrong on the OS partition before ; And when there is no data to recover you just factory default anyway.

I don't think OS6 devices will have such problems as :
1- Netgear probably implemented a better log rotate mechanism
2- BTRFS is easy to resize (though I think ARM devices use an ext4 OS partition)
Another advantage to take the 300 series over the 100 series is that (I think) it is covered by lifetime assistance (not hardware though hardware warranty should be longer than on the 1xx series too).
