My WiFi recommendation would be based on your home’s style, size, geometry, materials, and urban density, in addition to the number of people that live in your home.

Personally I am skipping WiFi6e and wouldn’t do WiFi7 until it is well standardized and supported. The benefit of these standards is negligible for me for the foreseeable future, and their current prices are at an unreasonable premium. The cost/value ratio isn’t close to being right for me yet.
