Wardriving - what option is a solid first build?

I'm late to the game with Wardriving, so I'm surprised there isn't more info available on comparing various platforms. I'll try to get my question out without sounding too stupid.

I live in a very sparsely populated area. Recently, I discovered wardriving, and have been playing with the WiGLE app for a few weeks. I want to push a little further into this, and I figure the best starting point is trying to get a bit more range on 2.4/5ghz since most of the houses are far enough off the road that the phone won't pick them up.

I've been looking into RPi builds, ESP32 builds, Pineapple clone builds, a rooted phone with nethunter, etc. One thing I keep thinking about is the channel hop rates and how fast each device can poll information.

So here is my question - if you were building a dedicated wardriving setup that had decent range on wifi and would miss as little as possible, but wanted something relatively compact, which platform would you be building from?
