A bit biased as I have not tried any other solution, but I like Unifi ones. They are decently priced but still professional grade. Ex: hand over between multiple APs, vlans, etc. They are also fairly easy to setup.
I am shopping for an AP as well, I have decided to go with this one.

No consumer router can beat the Unifi Pro series (ac or not).
UBNT 11ac models are still pretty bad compared to 11n and we lack quite a bit of information to give good advice.
@ /usr/home
For 11n they're extremely if you're on a budget/home usage, you're better off with Mediatek SoC if you want 11ac and OpenWRT but it's not as stable as Atheros 11n.

I about died.
OP, what kind of budget do you have? What are your wireless devices? G? N? AC?
OP, we need more info otherwise this will degenerate into another fanboi war . That being said, I've had pretty good luck with OpenMesh devices lately. For just single band .11n stuff, the OM2P has performed pretty well in my deployments, and no wacky Java management tool like the Unifi stuff.

I did have a very useful cloud controller for every AP my organization has deployed though.

EWW... Cablemodem/NATbox all-in-one. Any particular reason? Those things generally suck.
It might be fine for the average user, like your parents.
Anyhow,

As for AP, at that price range it's kinda hard to find something at all.

or possibly a TL-WDR3600 running OpenWRT which will give you both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. No fancy GUI however. The UniFi AP only does 2.4Ghz.
