Moving house and going with Aussie broadband 1000/50. My question is, is it worth getting the $180 modem from them or spending $180 on another brand modem?

1000/50 is not available on VDSL NBN connections (FTTN, FTTB, FTTC)
The house has FTTN.
So the maximum speed tier you can subscribe to will be 100/40
Honestly, a great modem router for this is the Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 (model number DJA2030 or DJA0231). You can often find them unused on Gumtree or Marketplace for under $50. They are not locked to Telstra (work fine on Aussie Broadband) and come with a built in SIM card that will kick in if NBN is down.
That would be my recommendation.
