Driveway Gate and Opener Questions

I am considering a metal railing type gate for my driveway. I plan on a single swing door, and I will put a heavy steel 4x4 tube in concrete for the posts. The actual door may be aluminum. Once I have the door attached to one of the 4x4 posts and swinging smooth, then I am going to need the opener...

There seems to be a ton of back and forth reviews on the openers. I saw a video of the mighty mule from tractor supply and that thing is way too slow.

I hear Apolo might be good?

What do you run and how to you like it? My door won't be more than 12-15 feet and if I go aluminum it should be really light - but I would prefer heavier duty than I need.
