I think you did great getting off Nord; it's one of these providers with allegations of being funded by spooks. I can't tell if they are but in that case it's been a pretty persistent allegation over the years.
The Germans failed to raid Mullvad for logs, which is good. The downside is that in response, to reduce abuse and being raided more, they turned of port forwarding (though personally I don't use that). Having some protection through Swedish data protection laws, and great local jurisprudence on what does and does not make a company an ISP (VPN providers aren't that) is a nice to have cherry on top, I guess.
I don't know how nadanada runs their VPN servers exactly, because the FAQ is a bit sparse on detail. That they are domiciled in Germany mostly trades some up/downsides vs Sweden, for now, but in general I think that it is hard to get a feel for closed systems and what they truly offer in terms of security. There's a lot of trustmebro and industry-wide a lot of betrayal from these bros.
