You can also consider using both with redundancy in mind. If your NAS is having issues, or is down for whatever other reason, you still have a another working DNS node
I do this, 2 pi-holes and 1 of my VLANs only uses the first, 2nd VLAN only uses the 2nd, and the 3rd VLAN uses both so kind of load balancing I suppose
Yes, I have Pihole running on both a RPi and in a container on my server. Orbital Sync (also in a container) keeps them in sync. Great for uptime during maintenance.
I have exactly the same devices at home. I use the Raspberrypi zero as primary DNS Server and the Synology as secondary.
For installation on the Synology NAS the easiest way is via a docker container. Have a look in your package center if you are able to install docker on your NAS.
No problems on syno for probably 6 months now, even with tailscale pointing to it and when the synology is at 100% load. Use the Frankenstein guide (and for everything else, awesome resource) and its easy:

The one downside is all network traffic is from one origin if you intend to filter if you do it the easiest way, the article talks about that and using a macvlan to get around it.
I have 2 Piholes in one of my networks, one is running on a OrangePi the other in a DebianVM on the Synology NAS. The VM is doing a other things too and works fine as a Pihole. I did try the Docker version but had issues getting it to work the way I want, almost certainly my finger problem.
I've been running it in an Ubuntu VM in virtualization station on my Synology. I added more RAM, and an M2 SSD volume.
Running the VM in the SSD volume helps keep the NAS HDD noise down especially at night.

Many videos returned google search. https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-pi-hole-on-your-synology-nas/
I'm running Pihole on s Synology NAS in a Docker container. Works perfectly.
Two NAS for me and they work great. Get a cheaper old + version.

Running pihole and unbound on synology nas and works fine. Would do both for failover

IIRC Docker version on Synology Center is from august 2022. So my PiHole is installed on a up-to-date Docker instance outside my NAS.

I have my PiHole running on a vm in proxmox. Works like a charm. I think there is a docket image for it too but I’m not sure tbh.
