Was thinking either AirVPN or NordVPN. I've heard good things about both, AirVPN is a bit cheaper though.

I've used PIA in past. They were decent. A large list of exits, and moderate speeds. I don't think it is compromised, his whole business rides on the fact that it is private. It is not in the companys interests to jeopardize that.

Currently I use ExpressVPN the most. They are a 'no-log' vpn that accepts bitcoin. The exit list is a good size. Not as large as PIA, but every region is represented, and the speeds tend to be better.

I ran PIA myself for a while. I'd say, though, that the exits are very fast. I made a pfSense router specifically for that to encrypt traffic from all devices without affecting device performance. Where my connection normally clocks in around 218/16, I'd see 200/14 or so on the PIA VPN--a very, very acceptable drop.

I had found the exits to be hit and miss.
Some were fast, some slow, and some wouldn't even connect.
Maybe that varies depending on physical location?

I used PIA a while back simply because I could pay with old gift cards and they had a lot of exit nodes. I haven't had issues with ProtonVPN's paid version, but I haven't really used it much yet.

I forgot to mention that I would prefer somewhere that accepts crypto. I heard something a while ago about PIA selling user data, I can't remember exactly what went on but they were doing some shady stuff.

PIA "bought" some big IRC networks not too long ago plus they have some shady stuff going on most likely

I'm using Mullvad; seems pretty good. No information given, no logging, takes bitcoin, etc.

I'm currently using a DigitalOcean VPN VPS for $5/month. so far, so good.
