From what are you protecting yourself? Piracy? Then go with a VPN that has been tested in court and didn’t turn over any logs. The second one of these providers turns over their logs in court they are out of business because no one will ever trust them again. That’s all you really need for the seven seas.

Can the NSA see what you’re doing? Who cares. If they can, they aren’t revealing that to help anyone in a civil case.

You conflate VPN providers have an incentive to store no logs with it's impossible to verify whether VPN providers store logs. It's like trusting your friend to keep a secret. They promise not to write down what you say, but you can't be sure. You accept that risk in your threat model, and that's fine. But newcomers should judge that risk themselves. I feel like “Don't worry bro, they don't keep logs.” is an inappropriate response to people that're about to commit a crime that can land them in jail.
