I have been using Synology for over a year. It pretty much has all the features you mentioned, except mine is 1 bay w/ 2T WD green. Make sure you buy the model with fast CPU, ram and transfer speed, streaming music or video will be much smoother. It will be even better if the NAS comes with USB3.0 or Esata, but for my setup 1000Mbps router + Cat6 is good enough for both LAN and 4G network

I am sure all NAS brands have decent support, Synology has good OS (DSM 4.0) they have oem apps for files, audio, cam, photo, remote NAS setting, web access, BT, 3rd party application etc.

This is what I will look for...
NAS software support > Hardware performance > number of bays* > others.

* mine can attach up to 4 extra HDs (1 esata, 3 USB2.0) on top of the internal one.
