Fortigate vs Ruckus vs Cisco wireless

Curious if anyone has ever been in a position to use two or the three vendors mentioned in the subject (Fortigate, Ruckus, Cisco) for wifi implementation. If so, which one did you like best?

Looking at Budgeting for an upgraded wifi infrastructure in 2022-2023, in time to replace a Cisco one running on a 5508 wireless lan controller that goes EOL in 2023.

Needs to do multiple ssid's with different authentication schemes, remote offices can tunnel to HQ or they could just exit traffic at the local switchport - both options are nice to have.

The only thing that I smirk about is the Fortinet branding "forti-"everything... I could be taking a FortiPee on the FortiToilet using my FortiPhone connected to a FortiAP, etc... Just makes me chuckle, though it has no bearing on the decision what so ever.
