both are solid systems and you're dedicated backhaul gives you a little advantage for either one of them.
I don't think either would be a bad choice. Compared to the R8000 you're coming from, its going to be much faster/better coverage all around
And I usually test a few sites. Mainly ookla and then xfinity's speedtest app. Sometimes ookla struggles to max out multigig speeds so that's when the ISP's site can help. For wifi testing I use ookla.
If I'm really testing speeds (faster than the ISP supports) then I use iperf3 but I've heard windows isn't recommending iperf3 because its emulated on windows. they recommend ntttcp
