I personally prefer Asus and Netgear routers, maybe D-Link/Linksys... I've had to replace a couple of TP-Link switches in the past so I can't vouch for their reliability. I don't have much experience with Tenda.
Asus offers mesh with their newer models (you can mix and match routers), seems D-Link has it now as well. This is a good thing if you have a larger place and you may need a second router at some point.
Generally you want a newer model, as the hardware will be more capable, and it will have modern firmware/administration features. I am sure most of those would work fine.
