I am tending towards a RaspberryPi with PiHole. Would there be any advantage with an OpenWRT router if it’s just plugged into the ISPs router anyways?

Why would you be forced to use your ISP router? Anyways, you can probably configure that. Look up the model, find out the login URL and default user/pass, and see if you can log in and make changes.
