Helix pod vs other brand access-point

Hello,

I have Helix internet with 2 helix pods already, set up to run as access points. 

(Gateway -> switch -> wired connection to pods)

I know the support for this configuration is iffy, and I've had issues in the past, but now seems to be working fine. 

My question is: I would like to add another pod to act as access point - would it be preferable to try my luck with another helix pod or use another brand access-point?

If I use another brand , like ubiquiti, would it act in the same way as the helix pods? Ie. same SSID network name and the devices will automatically switch to the strongest network? I would ideally like one with 2 ports, like the helix, otherwise I'll need to buy a small switch as well. Any recommendations for access point if not going with helix?

My hesitation with the helix pods is simply due to price, and the fact that previously, had a lot of trouble getting it to work in this way (however, the other 2 helix pods I have are currently working correctly as access points). 

Thanks!
