Verdict

The best choice when jurisdiction matters more than price. Swiss law, an open-source client and a published Cure53 report are a stronger privacy story than any US-hosted competitor, and unlimited aliases change how you sign up for services. Just budget for the renewal price of EUR 4.59, not the EUR 1.83 on the banner.
