Any VPN is better than no VPN. But I use Private Internet Access. The interface has gotten really slick in the last year - very nice to use. You can pay using random anonymous gift cards (essentially cash). And they are the only VPN that has been tested in the court of law (they were ordered to turn over all the records they had on a customer, and they did - nothing).

PIA also donates to FOSS projects/organizations[1] and has open-sourced some of their own projects[2] 1: https://sfconservancy.org/news/2016/mar/02/PIA-LCA-matched/ 2: https://pia-foss.github.io/

I haven't used it extensively, but so far MullvadVPN has worked well for me and they are one of thatoneprivacysite's top recommendations

This is a great resource for comparing VPN options, with a focus on privacy and security: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-section/ Be wary of folks recommending individual services... the VPN market has been hot in the last few years, and most recommendations should be treated with a fair bit of skepticism.
