AirVPN vs Mullvad which should I use? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I am thinking about changing VPN, I am currently using ProtonVPN and I was thinking about changing to AirVPN (for its prices and port forwarding) or Mullvad (Everyone says it is better regarding privacy but I don't know why).

Which one would you recommend and why? I have seen a lot of criticism towards AirVPN for being based in Italy, but if they don't collect the data as they say they do, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

I've never used AirVPN, but I've used Mullvad for a few years and I rarely ever have any issues with it. I won't deny that I have few complaints, but the complaints that I do have are quite minimal. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mullvad based on my own experience.
