WiFi APs or mesh WiFi to use with Mikrotik RB750Gr3 (over FibreX)

Hello.

It seems like it may be the time to replace my Apple Airport Extreme/Express that I have in the house. The third AP to this mix (Airport Extreme) has decided to die.

So will be needing to replace the hotspots around the house.

At the moment the 3 hotspots around the house have ethernet connecting to Mikrotik RB750Gr3.

So questions are:

would it make sense to have mesh WiFi units to cover the hotspots?

if not, what WiFi APs should I get without costing too much?

I would prefer to keep using Mikrotik RB750Gr3 as I have it set up sweet - and to use over FibreX, however, if there's any thought that any other WiFi APs (or mesh WiFi like Netgear Orbi that I know support VLAN) then I may give it a consideration.

In the end, I would like to keep the cost low. I would like to have 2 SSIDs, one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz across all these hotspots, in another word, auto SSID/hotspot switching.
