Will someone just tell me what direct drive trainer to buy?

Former Cat-3 racer here, hoping to not be so much of a "former" after racing starts up again. I've been putting in way too many miles on my ~2005 era cyclops Magneto since my son was born 16 months ago and its literally rusting away. Last week the resistance unit finally gave up most of the way, so I need to buy a new trainer. I want a direct drive model and I've allocated a $1000 budget. There seems to be so many different models and some of them seem to really suck. I don't want to buy one that sucks.

Which one should I buy?

Also, not sure if it matters, but I put a lot of miles in on my cyclocross/gravel bike, so it would be nice if there's no issue with the trainer using a thruaxle and discs.
