In my experience, the fewer moving parts the better.

I run Unbound on my OPNsense router, and it uses the same blocklists as Pi-hole and the stats page (blocked domains, DNS requests, etc) are the same afaict.

But you still need something to do your dhcp, so maybe not fewer moving parts? Dunno.

I did pi-hole first, then much later decided to use unbound for dns because it looked super easy to add it. It was. Haven't thought about it much since. I hope your experience was as good or better.
