I switched from PC engines to https://protectli.com/ and I'm happy so far, although it's more expensive. I haven't tried anything else yet, so just a single data point.

Seconded. I have a protectli vault 4 port and it can handle 1Gb/s traffic fine.

If you want to use OpenBSD beware that you might not be able to push 1Gb/s with protectli devices. I had issues with OpenBSD pushing full gigabit, most likely due to all of the security mitigations.

If you want to safe some bucks and don't need coreboot or local support, you can opt for various chinese resellers like topton or qotom which also provide firewalls based on the same boards.

I'm running a J4125 based topton box and it's running fine for about 2 weeks now.
