Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don't allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can't properly setup adguard.

What routers are people using now that are reliable and will let me control my own network configuration

Lots of good suggestions. The down side to a pc running nonsense is going to be electricity costs. If that's a concern.

Any of the Asus routers supported by Merlin will do what you need. (That's what I'm currently doing). It has a feature called DNS control that will intercept DNS lookups and send them to the servers you define.

There are mini pcs running atom or celeron with impressive specs and Gbit capability that use <15w

Yeah that's actually a long term goal of mine. Get one of those soc boxes with 4 eth ports designed to be a pf/opnsense box.
