For router, managed switch, and access points I'm thinking Ubiquiti is the way to go? I want a nice 'one-and-done' setup rather than the hacked together with shoestring and bubble gum that is my current mess of a home network.

Similarly for the NVR/Cams, that is a deep rabbit hole and can't decide which to go with. I'd rather once again go for a packaged "setup and leave it alone" setup

Ubiquiti for all.

I have the Unifi Dream Machine Pro, an unmanaged PoE switch (don't need managed for home), Unifi cameras, and their doorbell too. The benefit is that it's easy to set up but with a fair amount of options to say that it's for home use. The Dream Machine Pro serves as router, firewall, NVR (can get a dedicated one from them too), wireless controller and it does a pretty good job of all of them. It stores the video locally but you can also access it remotely via web interface or mobile app - that's what sold me on it, and that there's no licensing.
