A good router or a spindle will work fine for your application. I use a Porter Cable 75182 router motor https://www.northerntool.com/shop/to...3565_200683565
It's noisy but it works for anything I need to do. There are a lot of spindle kits available for about the same price and they are a bit quieter. Life expectancy is about the same on either.
In my opinion it's a toss up on a small machine.
