Really depends on what your budget, use case and comfort level is. If you want to stick with the conventional all-in-one (including wifi), a quick search turned up the
ASUS RT-AX89X (2 10g ports – 1 copper/1 SFP+) @ $400. If you want to go bigger and separate your wifi take a look at
Netgate’s 6100 (2 10g SFP+). If you want to virtualize or not be limited to a certain hardware appliance, SuperMicro has some
superservers with 10g ports (I’ve used them with good success)… One benefit of a software firewall like pfSense is instead of replacing hardware every few years you simply update the software.
As for Ubiquiti and their UniFi line I don’t mind their switches and APs but have always found their USG routers lacking in features, performance and somewhat buggy. Perhaps they’ve improved with their UXG/Dream Machine line but that's just my 2¢.
Other factors to consider: power consumption, size, cooling, etc. If this will be sitting on an office desk or in a bedroom, I’d look at something with passive cooling. If thrown in an enclosed rack, closet or basement then fan noise may not be an issue.
Good luck
