I like the Ryobi offering but they're not exactly established in garage door openers.
If you're looking at Chamberlain's... Take a look at the Craftsman. Most of their range seems to be OEM'ed from Chamberlain. I got Chamberlains when I replaced mine a few years ago. Belt drive. Quiet, quiet, quiet. At least compared to whatever chain drive was in there. My folks bought a house, 3/4s finished, a few years ago. Developer went under. When helping them find openers, I found that the Craftsmen were OEM'ed from Chamberlain and typically sold for $30-$50 less for the same unit. More... if you watch for Sears to put them on sale.
I do have the battery backup. Still works after probably 4 years. ...and I got the wifi but... I've never bothered. I like that the box said it had it but then I found out you had to have a bridge hooked up to your router and pay for a subscription service to an app on your phone. No thanks. The key panel on the outside works find in a pinch.
