So it seems like ActionTiles and SharpTools are the two big ones. I need to decide between these two for Fire tablets.

Decide on a hub first. I wouldn't consider a dashboard a deciding feature of any hub. Device support, reliability, and automation capabilities are far more important. "Interfaces" come and go.

Did a bit more digging and am leaning towards SharpTools. I see that the founder (@magnify924) posts on here once in a while, I'm also all for supporting a fellow Texan!

Can people share how they power their wall tablets? I have cat6a run to my location. I believe I can use that somehow but would like to get ideas.

If you have ethernet, then yes - you just need a PoE switch on one side and a PoE to USB adapter on the other.
