All depends on what you're doing and threat model. Some may just be avoiding local isp surveillance. Some are just getting a vpn to access a site blocked on their country. For what you said,it really matters what country it's in and who is hosting it. For example, switzerland and finland means no dmca cooperation (not easily at least). If the owner is publicly known and had a lot to lose outside of the vpn business in the event of a reputaional loss, that would be even more preferable (for me it's freedome or protonvpn due to the risk they take by associating it with f-secure and protonmail respectively)
