I've own these for 20 years. Replaced one after 15 years. They often go on sale for $300-$350. I got mine at local Menards.

There are system that does both soften and water filter, if you need water softener too that is: https://www.amazon.com/Whirlpool-...07R62N8SQ/ [amazon.com]

Our filters for our units cost about 50 bucks yearly for 3
Also this might not be a 1/1 system meaning you'll waste more water (edit: I see it says it's a 1:1 system)
Or add a tiny amount of sea salt before you drink. I find it tastes much better that way. Also, I have read drinking such pure water can actually leach minerals out of your body, so adding some back in helps. Not sure how true that is though.
check out aquamin for a mineral source too.

With the tank issues and leaking filters, you run the risk of the your kitchen flooding and leaking water everywhere. I then found the Waterdrop D6, and that is what I've been using since. Its been 6 months and it works fine for me although it has its own drawbacks. I've also supplemented it with a re-mineralization filter to get back essential minerals back in the water. MY source TDS is not too bad to begin with (between 68 and 90 over seasons, east coast), but the taste is horrible without RO. The one thing about the Waterdrop D6 RO is that there is only 1 filter to change and there is very little reason to suspect leaks. The mechanism to replace filters is very simple: twist and pull, and replace, unlike the 6 stage filters (good luck doing this every 6months to a year, it becomes draining after a bit, unless it is placed in an easily accessible area).
I went with the D6 knowing what issue I had with leaks. it also has its shortcomings. It is plugged into an outlet, so I can't use it if there is a power outage. The water pressure at the spigot is considerably lower than the iSpring tank based solution.
The iSpring works based on natural water pressure of your supply line (in most cases). So you can use the filter all the time, even without electricity. The D6 has a motor in it, which is somewhat annoyingly loud at times. The iSpring water to waste ratio was 1:1.5 or 1:2 (yeah that was bad), the D6 is 2:1, much more efficient in this sense.
I really wished there were better products out there for the home (such as the Xiaomi Mijia Water Purifier 1600G) in the US.
I was thinking a countertop model would be good because I don't have much space under the counter (which is also why the Waterdrop might be a good option), but also because if it's on the counter, I could see if it's leaking, and maybe have one good quality master valve that's always off unless using.
