I like my Wahoo Element Bolt, but it's the slightly older version without the color screen. It makes a difference for reading maps. The maps were better on my yet older Garmin Edge 510. OTOH, the Wahoo works great in every other respect, and so I haven't been able to justify replacing it.
If I were in the market now, I'd probably look at the Bolt, the Roam, and the Karoo. The Karoo Hammerhead looks great, though it's a little pricy.
I don't know if Garmin has improved their HRMs, but I found them finicky and unreliable. The Wahoo TICKR has been great.
As to cadence - that comes with your power meter IF your power meter is on the cranks or pedals.
