I am a big fan of the Pixhawk 4 series autopilots from Holybro as they represent the ideal balance between quality and price if you dont want to pay for tripple redundancy (like on the Cube autopilots (which are also great BTW)).
But holybro are working on a new super powerfull autopilot based of the STM32 H7 MCU, so it will have pleanty of horsepower to do loads of cool things with. Full specs below:
