If you're looking for something that you can do illegal shit on and doesn't collect logs (or at least purges them very frequently) then Mullvad is the best VPN by a mile, not to mention it's cheap (about $6 per month). If you want speed then PIA.

Rule #1: don't ever trust something you don't control.
They may say they don't keep logs, but in all liklihood they do.

what would you suggest?

1. don't do anything you aren't willing to take the heat for
2. don't trust anything you don't control
3. end to end encryption done by YOU
