We tried Dual WAN in our servicing shop around 6-7 years ago and pulled the plug on one after a year since it was just a waste apart from loss of connection in one. What type of 'work' are you pertaining to? Do note that the primary advantage of dual wan is freeing up bandwidth between users and with ISPs popping 300mbps at their cheapest plan (ex. Converge's 1500 plan) you might not need it unless you'll be hogging majority of the bandwidth most of the time. 

Mid-high end 3rd party routers usually have 'smarter' bandwidth allocation by default if your connection runs through them whether LAN or Wi-Fi. In my experience in installing personal and relative's networks, this is true and I'm quite a 'user' when it comes to downloads like sudden steam updates nearly hogging the entire bandwidth.

Server admin bossing, meron akong  server na nakalagay sa maliit na office for rdp, baka kasi bumigay lang ung isang network habang wala ako. Kaya plano ko maglagay ng dual wan for fail over. Di kaya bumili ng pfsense sa budget ehh kaya naghahanap ng budget friendly na router.

Ah makes sense for your goal. I am out of the loop for routers, haven't bought any since since WiFi6 and AX routers popped up.

Good name brands for me are : Asus, TP-Link, Netgear. Sila palang nagagalaw ko so I can't say anything else for others. Lazy googling led me to Asus' AX82U @ PCHub in Gilmore for 8,350.

SKL, since nag google ako ng routers puro routers ang ads ko sa Shopee and Lazada, medyo madami dami ang good deals compared to physical stores like PCHub/Dynaquest

Do you still need multiple Routers pag nag tayo ng comp shop? Like around 30 to 50 pc's.

You just need one router going to your ISP, even so ISP provided router is suitable enough. You will need at least 1pc 24 port switch and 2pcs 16 port switch for your LAN compose of 30-50 PCs. Unless you have a public IP lease from your ISP and hosting your own public game servers you will not need a high end routers/switches.  if the intent is just LAN games or MMO games then make it simple and just pour your resource in getting the best rate for intermet connection.
