Personal Consumer Issues • Garage door openers - recommended brand, model?

$

Hi all, the cold weather has finally done in my 15 year old Genie garage door opener so I am looking for a replacement. I have just started researching brands/models and there is so much more than my basic Genie. I will not be installing this myself - its about 100 bucks to have it done and I am not handy. I am looking for a brand model that will last, I do not need to have the car opener features as drive a Boglehead 2001 civic and I do not need to have to have the tech stuff either. I think I want a belt opener that is maintenance free. I am most interested in reliability and longevity. Any one have suggestions/experiences?
We have highly upgraded in HP rating "Liftmasters".
The main garage door is chain drive.
The other garage door is shaft drive.
Warehouse/garage with 2 huge doors has Liftmaster shaft drives.

Troublefree and very reliable. The best models, and upgrading HP to max, can get pricey.

Liftmaster "IQ" can be added for wifi connectivity, etc. I'm considering installing it. That would be 4 doors.

j :D
Same, recently installed two Liftmaster wall mount models with WiFi. The door opens and closes are much quieter. The app on the phones is a nice touch.
