What do you guys use for posts for your pool panels? I am replacing my small old panel with a big and heavy Pentair panel. The panel is currently supported by galvanized unistrats but they are too short for the new panel. I don’t want to use wood posts and I haven’t found galvanized unistruts in nearby stores. Any suggestions?

Why not ? You can buy pre-made pressure treated H-frames relatively cheap (several sizes) or build your own to save a couple bucks. They will last long enough that you won't mind replacing it in a generation.

If what others are showing in what you need them for, ground contact pressure treated wood posts should work great. I used one for our last AG pool to support a chlorine feeder and when I removed it 20 years later it was fine. I believe the ground contact lumber is made to have a 40 year life expectancy.
