Help me Choose between RT AX 86U Pro Vs RT AX 88U Pro.

Looking for a great router that can last for couple of years and gives the best gigabit speed.

The AX86U Pro may be the better buy as it has been on sale recently. It also may in time prove to have the better hardware. And you need to ask yourself if high bandwidth or stable connection is more important. Most Soho networks never use a gig bandwidth!

Not sure about great (count on good), but RT-AX86U Pro is a compact size router and will give you Gigabit speeds wired. Wireless speeds depend on the client capabilities. With most common 2-stream 80MHz capable clients you can get around 800Mbps throughput close to the router.

If 2nd 2.5GbE port is not needed I would prefer RT-AX86U Pro. The same hardware inside, better looking, takes less space, runs the same level firmware.
