Great video.... I am torn between the two systems and I am Not sure which to buy. They seem to be quite similar side by side. The key features that I appreciate in QNAP are the multiple physical interfaces to bring media in or to get access to the drives... what to do what to do !!!
While the hardware is very similar, the QNAP might have a slight lead on performance. It also has features like the ability to connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse. On the other hand, I think the Synology has a much more polished interface and I think it is easier to use.
Can you do a tutorial on the Synology routers such as the MR2200ac? Of particular interest is the NAS function of the routers. I have had a few Synology NASes over the years with all of them in a LAN managed by a router of a different vendor. I am thinking of replacing my own router with a new one that has a VPN server built-in. The MR2200ac has this and the ability to plug an external drive to it via USB. This makes it as NAS. Strangely I cannot find any videos on TH-cam on this NAS function on the the Synology routers. In fact, you should do a series of videos on the MR2200ac or RT2600ac. They are basically the same as far as their VPN and NAS components.
I currently have one running with apt-cacher-ng (th-cam.com/video/t8kI4YwdvRA/w-d-xo.html). I also did a video on installing Wordpress in one (th-cam.com/video/LDCd1MhoOyY/w-d-xo.html). I've also used VMs for running PiHole, Nagios, Zabbix, etc... I don't know how well one would work with Windows Server. A Mac or Linux user could set one up with Windows to do web site testing on Windows browsers. You could also, for instance, set up a VM with WindowsXP to run some older software that isn't supported by Windows 10. Aside from permanent VMs, I often use them for testing software configurations and setup. I can take a snapshot, experiment, then roll back to where I started.

was looking into exactly this comparison as I will be running some VM's at home, thanks

I unfortunately don't have any of the Synology routers.
nice comparison vid. What are some common uses to have a Linux/Windows VM running on your box?
