For a couple of month I have set duckduckgo as my standard search engine, but I often do not get satisfactory results. Is this because I am used to the Google results or does duckduckgo indeed not prioritize in a good way?

https://www.startpage.com/ is really good. Google search but anonymized
It does not matter if you do not use GMail, google/microsoft/ has all your emails anyways, since everybody sends you emails from those domains.

Thing is, what is a reliable email alternative that is certain to be around long term, that I can use to register? Google can afford to keep gmail up for my foreseeable life time, what other email services (free or paid) can I trust with that?
Edit: I do have my own domain, but I don't consider that as reliable as something maintained by a large organization.
Gmail is the main problem. I use it as a backup email and as an ID for registering about everywhere.

For the first point, you are already set. You have your own custom domain and can point that to any provider you find trustworthy, including Gmail, Fastmail, ProtonMail, Outlook, etc.
For the second point, nobody is as responsible for keeping proper backups as you are. Every provider could go under or have a glitch, as unlikely as it is with the bigger providers. Every provider allows you to take your data out, be it through reular syncing or downloading periodic snapshots.
