Avid or CNC Router Parts has a proven track record and has wonderful customer support. It uses Mach 4 a good control system with good support. I had a GRBL system and got tired of the constant blips. You can delete the Mach 4 option and go with a Acorn with software written by folks who do controls for a living. GRBL is hobby grade.
But if you value low price over dependability then do whatever you want.
BTW I use a Hitachi router, the noise level is about the same as the spindle I used on my larger long gone machine,
