I would recommend a mid-range Chamberlain. E.g. something like this B970 for $250 which has a lot of nice features (quiet belt drive, battery backup for use during power outages, and wifi control if you want it). Installation is pretty straightforward (couple hours DIY, depending on how handy you are and whether you have a 2nd person to help).
You can get basic garage door openers for more like $150 but I think the extra $100 gets you some nice features.
No reason to spend any more IMO, and no reason to pay for someone to install it if you are just slightly handy.
Luckily, garage door openers have already thought of this.
There are cheaper models with battery backup available, but this is the one I got.
Something like this will work with older motors.

I have a new motor, and it came with wifi and app access built in.
