I would probably go for the M5 (personal opinion). Each M5 node can give about 1800 to 2000 sq. ft. coverage so even one could be good enough, but two to make sure you have the coverage along with the speed.
If both nodes are able to be connected with an Ethernet cable that will help with getting faster speeds to the second node by utilizing the Ethernent backhaul.

It depends on the wall construction in your house. If it is a newer home with Wood studs and plasterboard, then yes the M5 may be a better choice. But if the walls are metal studs and the plasterboard is 5/8" or older Lath & plaster, then it's kind of like living in a manmade Farady cage. So in that case more nodes with shorter separation would be better.
You can always go with the M5 nodes to start, they give you the Antivirus protection, where the M4/3 nodes do not. Then if you need more coverage you and augment by adding M3W single nodes to the mesh.
