Simple answer is... pfSense is a great product that has no reason to exist. The same question will get asked every time - why would you look to build your own router when a better, enterprise class router with support is under $100?
I know of no case today when any software router is a realistic option to consider.

Which Ubiquiti? The size of your network is not a factor in networking equipment. Even if you have a /23 (the smallest recommended these days) the smallest router can do the job.
If you were able to use pfSense, then the smallest entry level Ubiquiti is more than enough. The EdgeRouter Lite (ER-L) is all that you need. You can find it generally from $65-$95 if you shop around. Avoid the cheaper ER-X, it's fine, but not generally what you'd want in a business.

Then a new router it is how do I program it. Is it hard

Another vote for Ubiquiti. Nothing wrong with pfSense, but there isn't any need for the cost and complexity of building your own router. You can't get good router hardware to put it on easily.

I've heard several people say that they like Baltic.

Baltic is a little cheaper last time I checked, but it's been a while.

But you have shipping charges with them as they are a normal reseller.
But for clients with terms, it is a much better solution than dealing with Amazon and credit cards. Pricing after shipping is typically very similar to Amazon.
-
Amazon is a pretty good place to buy it specially if you have prime. You will get products much faster than any Ubiquiti reseller.
-
Nearly everyone has Prime these days, and lots of people in big cities can get devices delivered in a few hours. Big selling point should you need a replacement.

Ok got it, thanks sir. Its for myself but will compare them and Amazon. For any clients I can see the advantage of what your saying.

I do have prime and its for home so will probably make sense to use Amazon

Pretty much anywhere it’s discussed
It’s been the standard in the enterprise since the rise of switching.
