That kind of table is above my pay grade, but for a router, check out the Triton Tra001. 3.25 hp, lots of power, built in lift, easy to get top quality mounting plate (Woodpecker, thicker than most, twist lock insert) Good dust collection options.
The Triton pulls air through the motor from below, and someone suggested that you use some tubing to make a snorkle that fits up from under the table to the bottom of the router where the air intake is. Keeps the sawdust out a little better. If others are helping, it has a good safety lock built in so when you raise it to change bits, it locks the spindle and prevents it from accidentally starting.
There are many sources of cast iron tables, but be careful which you choose, some do not have standard openings for common sized mounting plates. So know what router you're buying first, then select the table. Make sure it fits the mounting plate for the router!
With the kind of work you're doing, I'd go for the largest table you can get. And since budget is pretty open, see if you can find one with a cabinet set up pre built. Although it sounds like you could knock one together PDQ.
Find a good fence, there are many out there, and it will help faciltate dust collection. Routers are second only to miter saws for producing fine sawdust. The more air flow you can get above and ariound the bit, the cleaner it will be.
Last, check out YouTube videos of Mark Sommerfeld, whose company sells router gear. He uses a setup much like what you're describing. He's an old time cabinet maker and I think they may still have a cabinet plan. His technique is fast and simple and worth watching.
Hope this helps a little.
