Best Setup for Wifi Extender?

So wanted to get opinions on the best setup I need. I'm setting up wifi service in my guesthouse. I'm currently using the new gateway router in my house and have the 5G, 2.4G and Guest wifi's setup and maxed speed available with Fios. Since my guesthouse will be used as a daycare during the day and at night more of a man cave or parties I wanted wifi available. I'm looking for pros and cons of the 2 options I'm thinking of doing. And which would provide the best wifi service.

 

1) Run a network line from my current router to a second router that will be in the guesthouse. This option will run me probably $75 which includes a $50 second router. But will it provide the true speed of the 5G?

 

2) Just have verizon place a new cable outlet in my guesthouse and buy the Verizon extender for $99. This option is obviously more since Verizon will charge much more to run more cable to where I need it. 

 

Is option 1 good enough to have a solid wifi? Besides what devices people would be connecting to it I'd also have a firestick and probably Xbox. Is there enough of a difference between option 1 & 2 that I should just spend the extra to do option 2? Overall option 2 will probably cost me like $200 more than option 1. Just want to see if that extra is worth it or not. Or I f option will still provide solid speeds or similar that it won't be noticeable.
