I'm running two instances of Pihole for DNS: one on my home server, and one on a Pi. I'm also thinking about setting up Unbound as the upstream resolver for Pihole.

Do you think I should install unbound on my RT-AC86U, or on one of the Pihole installations?

I thought the performance might be better running it on my server, but then perhaps less chance of downtime if running on the router?
 
Run it on the server and RPi, of course. They act as DNS servers in your LAN, not your router.
 
Personally I just run Unbound on two Raspberry Pi's running Pi-Hole since I have the router doing the DHCP server business for the LAN. Been doing it this way for several years. As always YMMV.
