I'd prefer to be tracked by nothing. Or at least, by nothing short of a targeted TLA attack.
And yes, Bitcoin is not anonymous. Just the opposite, in fact. Some cryptocurrencies arguably are anonymous. But that's never really been tested, and in any case, they're not widely accepted.
Any VPN service that I connect to directly, I pay with credit cards. Because there's ~zero anonymity for them, no matter what.
But for the rest, I pay with well-mixed Bitcoin. I anonymize Bitcoin using wallets in a series of Whonix instances, via Tor. Using a different mixing service for each step. With N steps, I have somewhere between N/3 and N-1 ~anonymous Bitcoin pools. Depending on how many mixes I consider adequate.
So then I select Bitcoin pools for paying VPN services in proportion to the degree of separation.
