The Wahoo units are well-liked. Navigation-wise, they match the 520 but with better maps. They can't generate routes on the device (you have to use a smartphone). People appear to usually download routes to the Gamins but the on-device routing can be useful.

If you are really into navigation, the Garmins that use maps (520+ and units with larger "numeric" values) have more navigation options.

The 530/830 (and the 1030) appear to be fairly solid units.The screens on the 530/830 are a bit too small for navigation.
The Edge305 didn't use FIT files....The 205/305/605/705 is older than the FIT file format. FIT didn't come along until the Edge 500/800 vintage I want to say.
